Heatwave

dave amazing sax, amazing music. Favorite track: Speedway.

MachoDRVN Hottest album out there! Max Cruise continues to put out quality nostalgic sound...And that SAX..Oh my gosh that SAX! Favorite track: Shadow In The Night.

J-p3 another epic sax-pop release from a nearly one man show that is the master of his craft. the sax rips over ballads and bangers alike, accompanied by lush neon scapes layered with nuance. and though this release leans more into the soft jazz side of fusion, there's plenty of adrenaline to fuel a sunset drive down the boulevard. Favorite track: Speedway.

about

As the sun sets over Sunset City, palm trees sway in a gentle summer breeze, waves crashing against the shore as neon lights on the strip begin to flicker into life, shining through the twilight, the night air filled with anticipation...

Heatwave is the fourth album from Max Cruise, with eight original tracks inspired by 1980’s smooth jazz fusion and action movie soundtracks of the era combined with modern synthwave flair.

Long-time collaborator Pat DiMeo of The Motion Epic returns as a featured vocalist on Shadow In The Night and special guest Cam Blokland shreds his way through several fiery guitar solos on Ocean Drive, Speedway and the title track Heatwave.

Composed and produced by Benjamin Harrison, the album was mixed by Ben Wood at Delta King Studios and mastered by Ben Feggans at Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia.

"Love Somebody" came up as a suggested listen on Amazon Music and I was blown away... had to go check out the whole album immediately. Awesome start to finish! Immediately ordered the CD and was finally able to snag a vinyl of this one as well. :^) chaddyb
