SYNCH (Jimmy Harnen) – …Get the Feelin’ (1986) 0dayrox team LP-rip
Also requested with Jimmy Harnen’s solo album, here’s the 1986’s LP ”…Get the Feelin” with his band SYNCH.
Hailing from Pennsylvania, Synch formed in 1985, but Harnen initially was the drummer. The other band members were lead vocalist Lou Butwin, guitarist Dave Abraham, bassist James A. Donnelly (who is currently a prominent figure in broadcasting and podsafe music movement), and keyboardist Chuck Yarmey.
Although not the “official” lead vocalist for the group, Harnen was afforded the chance to sing lead on his own composition, a power ballad titled “Where Are You Now”. The single was first released on the independent label Micki Records in 1986. After receiving local airplay, Synch got signed to Columbia Records, and “Where Are You Now” was re-recorded and re-released as a single, later also appearing in a live version on Synch’s lone album, ”…Get the FeelinĀ“”.
By the time this album was recorded, only Harnen and Yarmey remained from the original line-up, with Harnen now the full lead vocalist. For the ”…Get the FeelinĀ“” LP recording, the band got help from other Pennsylvania skilled musicians: Jerry G. Hludzik & Rick Manwiller, founder of AOR / melodic rockers Dakota.
This is extremely light melodic rock with rock&pop feel focused on Harnen’s smooth voice, however there’s some sharp guitar player on a couple of tracks and parping synths / keyboards all over.
While Columbia resulted interested to offer Synch a record deal, that never happened, but Harnen was able to release a solo album in 1989.
This is nice vinyl-rip by the 0dayrox team.
