California (The Instrumentals)

by Michael Oakley

supported by

David Rotenburger Mesmerizing and spellbinding work of retro synth mastery that forces the remembrance of happy times from the past! Michael Oakley is a mastermind who excels at capturing the essence of the 80's wondrously in his incredible work! I hope this is only the beginning of many more amazing releases to come in the future! Favorite track: Here Comes The Night (instrumental).

knight_elliott Listening to this album makes you think that you will run into Marty and Doc in Hill Valley. I mean you have power ballads with Turn Back Time and Rabbit In The Headlights. What Michael has done has made music that fits seamlessly within the 1980's and now you have the karaoke versions or to play them as I do before the song with vocals. Such as Genesis Home By The Sea 1 and 2. Hoops would listen to this trying to win over Cassandra (One Crazy Summer) Listener/Supporter RET. SSG Jason Elliott Favorite track: Turn Back time (instrumental).

elevatethesky Extremely catchy EP with enough memorable melodies and epic soundscapes to make you feel like you stepped into a John Hughes film with a modern twist. From the ethereal moody elements of Rabbit In The Headlights to the dreamy but yet uptempo feel of End Of Summer, this album is pure perfection. I definitely encourage purchasing the vocal version of this EP as well. Michael's voice is superb and full of emotion.
Favorite track: Rabbit In The Headlights

Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old. solstra
