I have their first album. Liked all the harmonies and hooks. Now I just bought the second album and it's even better than the first!

Thank you! I am very happy to hear that! Chris Flynn (singer/guitarist for Art in America).

I clicked thinking this would be an art scene documentary ... nice find. You opened for Roxy Music?? Can't believe I just heard of your band. Playing the album now.

Nice to have you here. Yes, the band has been creating a great deal of music since that debut album. Another album was recorded in 1984 and shelved due to the production by Ron and Howard Albert, it was recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami. (see the horrible thing those 2 brothers did to a Procol Harum album in 1977) There is a bit of an interview with them I found on Google here: www.procolharum.com/sth_missing.htm and also here: www.procolharum.com/pstxt1.htm In regards to our band, Art in America, first up they nixed the real drums and used a Linn Drum machine (new at that time) for all drumming on the sessions. Everything was downhill from there. The band did enjoy our time at the rented home we had during the recording, in Miami Beach, Florida. It was Arthur Fiedler's home (conducter of the Boston Pops orchestra) and was a fun place to live. Our managers lost a great deal of money due to that fiasco. We warned them on the second day of recording, but they scolded the band and told us to tough it out and act as professionals. We did our best. The end product was wickedly horrid. I have never loaded that recorded to any music site, and never will. It does not represent the sound of the band. Much music after that and I have it all over KZbin under : flynn1229. I have also loaded a great deal of music to the music streaming sites: Spotify, Apple Music, KZbin Music, Dweezer, etc. Apple has the best sound quality of all them because it is lossless. Thanks for checking in --- Chris Flynn (real name Chris Ruetenik)
