[.ca] One Two Three

one two three - bobby o:
The best two tracks on the album are definitely 'Runaway', and 'Another knife in my Back'. This album is typical of the early 80s New York underground disco sound. If you enjoy Jellybean, Divine, The Flirts or the early Shep Pettibone sound, the album is a must. The disappointing track is 'My Last Broken Heart'. This album is the typical Bobby Orlando blend of punchy bass and synth loops around catchy lyrics. Also recommended in a similar style is Waterfront Home - 'A New Breed of Mermaid'.

Bobby Orlando Forgotten Classic:
Released in 1983. Bobby Orlando's song craft went from high-powered sequencer base tracks (throbbing punchy bass lines) to more radio song orientated style (i guess more of a new wavish style), but still containing the Hi-NRG disco feel of the time. The two main singles off this album are "Runaway" (not "Runaway Girl") and "Another Knife In My Back" both are good tracks. Bobby Orlando sings on the following tracks "Runaway" and "Another Knife In My Back", but the rest of the male vocals are all done by Tony Caso. In my opinion the weakest track on here is "Midnight Fantasy". The rest of the album is good, despite the slow jam track "It Would Break Your Heart" which is not bad. Pet Shop Boys fans might take notice on the track "Falling In Love With Myself". Reason why? The main chorous sounds like they ripped it off and used it on their 1987 song "Rent".
