    "A 10-song, radio-friendly batch of hit-single-worthy tracks... Radiophonic Supersonic is a triumphant winner."
    -- Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio

    "Detroit’s Dave Caruso creates such pretty pop songs on his recent album, Radiophonic Supersonic, reminding me of 10cc mixed with more than a little Macca. The Drop perfectly captures his careful attention to song arrangements, juxtaposing some crunchy rhythm guitar with low key sweet vocals."
    --Dennis Pilon / Poprock Record - Songs With a Hook

    "Although it didn’t arrive until early December, Radiophonic Supersonic still made a number of 2020 best power pop album lists. If I had compiled such a list, it might well have cracked my top 25 — a notable achievement in what was a strong year for the power pop genre."
    -- Alan Sculley / The Morning Call

lyrics

Heaven Minus Love
Words & Music (c) 1985, 2020 by Dave Caruso

I was young & foolish and you were ripening
We never expected much -- only everything
But it never came; Then we realized
That all we'd ever have to share was in each other's eyes

Now in a rock garden where flowers used to be
It's heaven minus love and rain against the weed
And nothing really grows here though we planted every seed
It's heaven minus love for you and me

We started out with nothing, left everything behind
Uncertain what we wanted, unsure of what we'd find
We laid out our heaven; we planned each passing day
We sat with plans and folded hands while years just passed away

Now in a rock garden where flowers used to be
It's heaven minus love and rain against the weeds
And nothing really grows here though love has gone to seed
It's heaven minus love for you and me

Nothing wrong with what we had but we wanted more than fun
We gave it all we had, but we were both too young
We blamed each other and heaven seemed worth fighting for
We're still together but there's no feeling anymore

Now in a rock garden where flowers used to be
Stones planted in the earth, dreams buried in the weeds
And nothing here is really what heaven's supposed to be
It's heaven minus love; it's hell for you and me

Now in a rock... garden where flowers used to be
It's heaven minus love; it's hell for you and me
And nothing really grows here; the weeds can barely breathe
It's heaven minus love for you and me
