Window (1995)

[English Invader]

It's kind of lonely being a Christopher Cross fan. I usually have to sing "when you get caught between the moon and New York City" before people know who I'm talking about. This is the first forum I've found with any discussion of his work so I thought I'd start some threads about some of his albums.

Open Up My Window (duet with Gigi Worth):


Nature's Way (Spirit cover):


Wild Wild West:


Sadly, this is one of the most neglected of CC's albums and you won't find it on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes or any digital service. It was released by the now defunct CMC International and, along with Rendezvous and Walking in Avalon, the only way you'll find it is if you can get hold of a second-hand copy somewhere. It's a shame because I think it's a real gem.

It's also been difficult finding music from this album on YT but I will post more as and when I find them.

remember you/we always have the songs...to qoute Pink Floyd...."you will NEVER walk alone" (when you have the songs of Christopher Cross)

Suddenly, all my drunken Judas Priest worship threads seem positively normal.

I like how Tipton shows he can do the shreddy stuff in the start of the solo.

I have been playing that for the last 2 weeks. It's just fun to play on the Epi 339Pro.
Rocka Rolla is also in there.

Over the course of their careers, both of them became phenomenal guitar players.

Indeed...I heard they both turned down Deep Purple

That same thought crossed my mind too

Why do you hate the English ? His username indicates he's from England. This isn't the Boston teaparty bro....let's welcome our brothers from across the pond instead of eyeing them with distrust. I say give English Invader the benefit of doubt.

My username derives from retro gaming circles which is my main hobby. I must confess to not being a guitar player but my brother plays to a very high standard:

I'm part English. No hate. I'm just a former forum moderator and my mod senses are tingling.

I mean, who comes here and says they feel lonely about Christopher Cross and starts multiple threads about him besides Theodore?

Who derails a thread with spam because they're not interested in the topic of discussion? Such behaviour is unacceptable on pretty much every forum I've been on.

I would like this thread to return to the original subject now. If you have nothing worthwhile to say about Christopher Cross, please refrain from posting.
