Eyes To The Sky – Alan Mair
Here is a hot new release from Alan Mair (Beatstalkers, Only Ones) – released a mere 35 years after recording!
The song itself is a catchy blend of Alan’s multi-tracked vocals and a host of Zal Cleminson’s guitars with keyboards from Paul Rabiger. Hints of David Bowie can be discerned in Alan’s vocals and thankfully the track is free from overtly 1980s style production. The track started in Alan’s home studio with additional recording at Aosis Studios in Camden paid for by the A&R department of Arista Records. Why Arista did not pick up their option is beyond me – it is a very commercial sounding release and would have made a cool single back in 1986.
The video for Eye To The Sky was filmed by Alan’s friend Maggie on Hampstead Heath and features a walk-on appearance by Charlie the dog, see it here. The song is already available on Spotify and iTunes and a physical release on CD is imminent
