THE ADVENTURES

THE ADVENTURES was first introduced here in MANILA by WXB102 wayback late 1985 by playing the extended version of their classic "TWO RIVERS" which incidentally was #2 on the WXB TOP 102 MOST SEQUESTERED SONGS poll which was held last 2006. I also remembered the song hitting the #1 spot on the late evening XB Show "TOP 10 MOST SEQUESTERED SONGS" back in 1986. Their second Manila Hit would be "SEND MY HEART" which was taken also from their debut album "THEODORE AND FRIENDS". YUP!! All Pinoy Wavers have this album on their collection.

In 1988, NU107 introduced their second album "THE SEA OF LOVE" by playing "HEAVEN KNOWS WHICH WAY" which also bacame a hit on Manila New Wave Airwaves both on NU107 and DZBM POWER105 and was even included on the Philippine released compilation Vinyl "THE BEST OF NEW MUSIC 2". Then came "BROKEN LAND" which became an instant POWER105 classic because of the song's relation on CHEL D. "WHEN YOUR HEART WAS YOUNG" would be the last Manila Hit from this album and the band and Pinoy Wavers would definitely have also a copy it. HE HE HE!!

In 1989, THE ADVENTURES 3rd album "TRADING SECRETS WITH THE MOON" was introduced by DZBM POWER 105 by playing the song "YOUR GREATEST SHADE OF BLUE" but unlike the previous two albums, this album didn't really made a great impact here in Manila but still a relatively Pinoy Waver's collectors item.



THE ADVENTURES was the New Wave Band from Belfast who moved to London which was formed in 1984 headed by TERRY SHARPE on vocals who came from the late 70s group "THE STARJETS". The band released four albums and became famous here in Manila during the XB,BM, and NU days.

"BROKEN LAND"-The Adventures

As the Legendary DZBM POWER 105 DJ CHEL D.'s famous farewell lines after her radio show back in 1988-90 would go:
"GOTTA GO, GOTTA HIKE, GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE,CATCH YOU BACK TOMORROW SAME PLACE,SAME TIME...Bye Francis!! ....Bye Marvin!!"
........... then THE ADVENTURES' "Broken Land" INTRO starts to spin on POWER105's turntable.

BROKEN LAND lyrics
- THE ADVENTURES
(from the album: THE SEA OF LOVE)
These rivers run too deep
With schemes of men for days that lay ahead
They sell their souls so cheap
They breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread
When did the boy become a man
And lose his life to learn

So much confusion to this plan
These times are not changing

Show me the love to keep us together
Open up your hearts don't turn me away
Comfort me through this stormy weather
From where I stand, I see a broken land

This boy had learned to fail
In times like these to cry seems so absurd
His own life's crisis pales
In the shadow of this truly dying world
These are the games we played at school
Our hands raised in despair

With no exception to the rule
These times are not changing

Very Famous New Wave Song among PINOY WAVERS!!
Ayos ba CHEL D.?
