In 1987, five young men from Oslo, Norway were signed by Polygram and joined forces to record an album of finest Scandinavian AOR and Melodic Rock: Da Vinci's self-titled debut. In the tradition of other Scandinavian rock bands of the mid-80's such as Treat, Europe or Dalton, Da Vinci delivered well-produced songs full of hooks, driven by guitars and stunning keyboards. The success of the critically acclaimed debut immediately resulted in a second effort, "Back In Business'" from 1989, which is also considered to be a real gem among melodic rock aficionados worldwide.
