[AOR/Synth Rock/Melodic Rock/Pop Rock/Rock/Glam Rock] Here is keyboardist, songwriter, producer, lawyer and singer Mark Avsec aka Cellarful Of Noise with his debut 1985 solo album titled: \"Cellarful Of Noise\". An amazing AOR Synth Rock album that has unfortunately faded away into obscurity. A real shame that this album didn't take off so well because Avsec truly delivers every song with such energy and power. I personally think that this album deserved so much better than what it got because I absolutely love each track on it, especially \"Heartwrecker\" (Track 7), \"You'll Never Break My Heart Again\" (Track 5), and \"Can't Put A Leash On Love\" (Track 10). Each track has this \"Miami Vice\" Michael Mann type sound to it, as it feels like something that I would suspect Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) to be jamming out to, lol. All of these tracks were of course super trendy at the time and that is what is so surprising with the development of this album. For those that don't know, Mark Avsec was a pretty well known musician back in the day as he was one of the members in the widely popular bands: Wild Cherry ( \"Play That Funky Music\" ) and Donnie Iris & The Cruisers ( \"Ah! Leah!\" ). Not only that but he himself also co-wrote and produced a lot of the bands music too. In 1984, Avsec had spare time to begin working in his home studio in Twinsburg, Ohio on 40 to 50 demos which he began recording in winter of that same year (10 of which are these songs found on this album). Originally, these songs were to be recorded for Donnie Iris and the Cruisers. However, after being offered a solo album deal with CBS Records, Avsec selected ten of his demo recordings for a solo project under the moniker Cellarful of Noise with Cruisers' former drummer Kevin Valentine also aiding with the production. The album was released on vinyl and cassette only in America via CBS Associated Records; And on vinyl in the Netherlands via Epic Records. Still to this day this album has not been released on CD, and has remained out-of-print since its original release. According to Avsec, this album was \"just a little hobby\" and the name Cellarful Of Noise partially was inspired by his recording studio (where these songs originated as demos) in his basement labeled: \"The Cellar\". In a 1988 interview with AOR Basement, Avsec revealed how this 1985 album came to be released by CBS: \"I had some spare time and I was really just experimenting in my basement with an eight-track and some midi-equipment. My manager, Mike Belkin, shopped the tapes and CBS put it out, virtually as it was - although it was really just me messing around. Right after it came out, though, I wanted to get more serious about it and make a better sounding record.\" After this albums release, Avsec went on to release a second Cellarful Of Noise album in 1988 titled: \"Magnificent Obsession\" but also noted that Donnie Iris and the Cruisers was still his main focus, and wanted to continue to release new albums solely within the band. Overall, this album is a great window into the musical talents of Mark Avsec whom (in my opinion) is the man that truly defined the ultimate success of Donnie Iris and the Cruisers. This album was released under CBS Associated Records and Epic Records '85.
