Info: Issued on the RCA label in 1987 [#ZL 71365]. Features Italian progressive / instrumental and a couple of hard 'n heavy bands.
The compilation starts out with some noisy intro followed by an instrumental track (one of many on this comp) to later kick in with "The Fighter" by WATERFALL, a catchy little gem I really enjoyed (except from the 2minute long guitar-driven INSTRUMENTAL ending).
Then it's instrumental, drums and noise again.. and on it goes. Most of the songs just passes by without any major impact. Except one.. the epic and masterful contribution by SUBWAY FORCE!. It's in the sample above, don't dare to skip it!.
If someone have more info on these guys (such as line-up, demos or other recordings) please get in touch!.
