LOMBARD (a.k.a. NOT-Lady-Pank-at-all)

Here goes nothing...

This is the LOMBARD album I mentioned in the Weird wavy/poppy "Metal" thread earlier and first mixed up with the band Lady Pank. The description still stands though. They seem to have turned into a standard new wave/pop act rather quickly after "Śmierć Dyskotece!", but I would bet my TURBO-collection they had at least one main songwriter heavily into Hard Rock/melodic NWOBHM on this one. Some songs are actually pure brilliance in that field, while some parts stray a bit too far into cheesy 80's pop/rock-land (be especially wary of the opening cuts on each side). Not for everyone but still interesting considering how rarely you come across this mix of influences. Do enjoy.

I seem to miss some interesting stuffs in the past year of low-activity. DaN, any chance for re-upload?

Done. This really is a great NWOBHM-oozing gem that deserves some attention from fans of the genre around here. As mentioned above, ignore song 1 and 7 and enjoy!

Have just given it one proper listen and it is veeery interesting thing. Track 7 is OK, cos I like at least one Ultravox album. Kinda mix of the mentioned and Diamond Head or Saxon ... . Close to some form of excellence. How rare is it?
