The Cars - 1984 - Heartbeat City (2014 HDtracks) [FLAC@192khz24bit]  The Cars  Wikipedia: The Cars are an American rock band that emerged from the new wave scene in the late 1970s. The band originated in Boston, Massachusetts in 1976, with singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter Ric Ocasek, singer and bassist Benjamin Orr, lead guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson. The Cars were at the forefront in merging 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synthesizer-oriented pop that was then becoming popular and which would flourish in the early 1980s. Robert Palmer, music critic for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, described the Cars' musical style by saying: "they have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend." The Cars were named "Best New Artist" in the 1978 Rolling Stone Readers' Poll and won "Video of the Year" for "You Might Think" at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984. Their debut album, The Cars, sold six million copies and appeared on the Billboard 200 album chart for 139 weeks. As of 2001, the Cars have sold over 23 million albums in the United States. The band broke up in 1988, and Ocasek had always discouraged talk of a reunion since then. Orr died in 2000 from pancreatic cancer. In 2005, Easton and Hawkes joined with Todd Rundgren to form a spin-off band, the New Cars, which performed classic Cars and Rundgren songs alongside new material. The original surviving members reunited in 2010 to record a new album, Move Like This, which was released in May 2011, followed by a short tour. In 2015, they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Heartbeat City (2014 HDtracks)  Artist: The Cars Title: Heartbeat City Producer: Robert John "Mutt" Lange, The Cars Release Date: March 13, 1984 Recorded: July 1983 – January 1984 Battery Studios, London Label: Rhino Records, Elektra Records Genres: Rock, New Wave, Pop Rock Sort Rock, Power Pop Duration: 38:43 Website: http://www.hdtracks.com/heartbeat-city-291143 Wikipedia: Heartbeat City is the fifth studio album by American rock band the Cars. Released in 1984, it was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Picking up a positive commercial response, the Cars had many tracks getting airplay, and singles "Drive" and "You Might Think" in particular both became Top 10 hits. The album also received supportive reviews from several critics; for example, Robert Christgau stated that "the glossy approach the Cars invented has made this the best year for pure pop in damn near twenty, and it's only fair that they should return so confidently to form." AllMusic Review by Greg Prato: MTV had become a major marketing tool by 1984, and the Cars were one of the first bands to use the new video medium to their advantage. The band's fifth album, Heartbeat City (Elektra), spawned several imaginative and memorable videos, which translated into massive chart and commercial success, making it one of the biggest releases of the year. Produced by hitmaker John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard), the album included two Top Ten singles -- the ballad "Drive" and the charismatic "You Might Think" -- plus an additional two that landed in the Top 20: the summer anthem "Magic" and the eccentric "Hello Again." But it didn't just stop there, plenty of other tracks could have been hits as well, such as the sparse rocker "It's Not the Night" and the breezy pop of "Looking for Love." Other highlights included the ethereal title track, the melodic rocker "Stranger Eyes," and the moderately paced love song "Why Can't I Have You." Although the Cars experienced their greatest success yet with Heartbeat City, it would unfortunately not last for long -- after just one more studio album (1987's spotty Door to Door), the band split up.  01 - Hello Again - 03:47 02 - Looking For Love - 03:52 03 - Magic - 03:57 04 - Drive - 03:54 05 - Stranger Eyes - 04:27 06 - You Might Think - 03:05 07 - It's Not The Night - 03:49 08 - Why Can't I Have You - 04:04 09 - I Refuse - 03:16 10 - Heartbeat City - 04:32 Personnel: Ric Ocasek – rhythm guitar, synthesizer, lead vocals on 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Elliot Easton – lead guitar, backing vocals Greg Hawkes – keyboards, Fairlight programming, backing vocals Benjamin Orr – bass, lead vocals on 4, 5, 7 David Robinson – drums, percussion, Fairlight programming Additional Musicians Andy Topeka - Additional Fairlight programming    ♪♬♫ ENJOY! ♪♬♫ Related Torrents
