Escape Club - Not another "One Hit Wonder"

Escape Club is: Trevor Steel - vocals John Holliday - guitars Johnnie Christo - bass Milan Zekavica - drums Most will only remember the Escape Club for their late-80's #1 hit "Wild Wild West" - and that's a shame. In 1987, before they signed to Atlantic Records the band released their debut album, "White Fields" under the EMI label. In 1991, two and a half years after the release of 1988's "Wild Wild West" on Atlantic Records, the band peaked with the release of their 3rd and final effort, "Dollars and Sex" (also on Atlantic Records). D & S's first single, "Call It Poison", enjoyed decent radio airplay and a healthy amount of exposure on Mtv (reaching #44 on the pop charts), but it's the second single "I'll Be There" that makes this disc worth any price you may pay. The top ten hit (peaking at #8) is sung from the perspective of a man beyond the grave to his love left among the living here on Earth. The song is both romantic and sad; haunting and inspiring. It's like the bittersweet ending to that movie that always makes you cry. Incentally, the song is rumored to have been inspired by the movie "Ghost" starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. While "I'll Be There" is worth the price of the disc alone - don't overlook the rest of this fine collection. The remaining tracks are excellent mostly up-tempo pop-rock with moments of dance, rap, reggae, and metal influence. "Edge Of Your Bed" and "So Fashionable" are fun, danceable rock similar to late 80's INXS. "This City" and "Freedom" are moody, atmospheric mid-tempo numbers with catchy, hypnotic choruses. And "Sugar Man" is a fun, almost island-style song - ironically about a serious subject: drug addiction. Every song on the disc is worthy of your attention, and the CD flows well making for an enjoyable musical journey. The disc is an easy "full listen." While D & S is one of the more underrated and overlooked albums of the early 90's, it did earn The Escape Club a second well-deserved Top 10 hit with "I'll Be There" - allowing the English band to narrowly "escape" the dreaded lable of "one hit wonder."

the missing song

I have also been looking for "I'll be there" for a very long time. My search began a little over 4 years ago when my brother died. The lyrics from the song ran through my head, but I dodn't know the name or artist and neither did anyone else. Finally, I have the song I have been wanting to share with others who love and miss him.

I'll Be There

Although I didn't find this entire CD that great, the song "I'll Be There" is woth 5+ stars. This song hit the top 40 years ago, then dropped off the face of the earth. I never knew who the artist was, or the name of the song. I called every radio station in the Chicagoland area, and visited very reputable music stores and sang it for them, and still no one knew. After searching for probably over 5 years, I FINALLY found out who sang it. This song is the most touching song I have ever heard. For anyone who has lost someone - You will be able to relate.

I'll be there alone is worth the price of this CD!

The Escape Club offers something for every pallate. This is a wonderful CD..sweet at times, edgey at times, but always musical and good listening. I'll be there is probably the most heartfelt and moving song I have ever heard. If it doesn't make you take a deep breath, you have no heart.

One of the most heartfelt songs I've heard.

The song 'I'll be there', by the Escape Club, is one of the most touching and heartfelt songs I have heard. Whenever someone I know passes on into the next life, or when I think of someone I have lost, I listen to this song and it lifts up my spirits and somehow lets me know that they are ok. A real salvation to the heart.
