Tony Palkovic: Born With A Desire (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

"A trailblazing amalgam of elevator-friendly R&B and synth-forward smooth jazz, Tony Palkovic's 1986 debut goes down easy as a huff of dentist-issued nitrous. Born With A Desire's silky grooves and bursts of drum machine 1.0 endure as an '80s vision of future earth where 8-bit graphics and pastel palettes swath a synthesizer Shangri La." - Numero Group
