Measure, danish west coast pop with AOR touch....
In 1991 the group Measure released the album "Close To The Madding Crowd". With the leadsinger Jan Klausen in front and Jesper King (keyboards) & Kim Johansen (drums, percussion) they made an album with songs that was a mix of pop, AOR & westcoast. The album were produced by Thomas Brekling, the topproducer, that took this band to a higher level. Unfortunally this was the only release by the band, after a good commercial success they didn´t manage to make a follow-up album.

Sometimes you need to clear your mind from new music with old stuff, but there are albums that hasn´t stood the test of time like the Danish hi-tech pop band Measure and their 1991 album "Close to the madding crowd". I listened a lot to westcoast/AOR music back in those days but this album has too much syrup pop over it. The production is tight and the vocal harmonies are all good but the songs belong on a Wham album.
