Straight Ahead by Blonker (Dieter Geike)

Blonker plays electric and acoustic guitars over a backing of synth keyboards, bass and drums played by Robert Gast. It´s all very melodically smooth and laid back, nothing to offend and nothing too exciting. One of the best melodies is "I will never forget" which is hauntingly catchy. "Straight ahead" and "Funky line" speaks for itself, the first drama comes with the rainstorm effects and moody feel of "On the run" which ends with sinister marching feet. "Dduje core pazze", the only non-original track, maintains the mood courtesy of some sustain soloing, "La Fenice" has a proud melody while "Magenta" swings along lightly.
