Air Supply Album: “Now & Forever”

This was our wedding music 24 years ago. I wore the cassette out by playing it over and over again. When I got the CD, which was impossible to find, the songs made me cry.

Side 1 was very good back in the day ... Taking The Chance is still one of my all time faves .

Still under contract with Arista,Air Supply released this album in spring 1982. There were only two Top 20 hits,those being EVEN THE NIGHTS ARE BETTER and TWO LESS LONELY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. The latter was not part of the follow-up GREATEST HITS in favor of that album's original track MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL. Other memorable 1982 Arista releases include Ray Parker Jr.'s(sans Raydio) THE OTHER WOMAN and Dionne Warwick's HEARTBREAKER.

Luis Mejia (son) - So, Air Supply's breakthrough era ends a little bit quickly with the release of their last platinum album to score: Now And Forever. Although the album keeps around some harsh critics in things like being indifferent and boring, this may be a little bit true but its still Air Supply in their best expression, a very sincere and melodic pop with certain highlights. Most of the compositions sound as a whole, making many pieces appear unoriginal and sappy, but, as in every Air Supply album, there are a few songs that become legendary and emotional, in this case these are the most famous "Even The Nights Are Better", #2 billboard hit, its one of Air Supply most memorable songs and one that fits into pop masterpieces, it keeps a very little disco feeling and one of their best romantic features, while "Two Less Lonely People In The World" peaked at #13, its one of their most melodic songs with a feeling very close to "Lost In Love", I'm also aware that the song became a wedding anthem. Apart from this two, the remainings are somewhat slick and without recognizeable melodies but still fabulous pices, even the orchestral "Young Love" became a minor hit, while "Now And Forever", "Taking The Chance" and "Come What May" are minor picks.
