Let The Music Turn You On (1983) Cashmere (1985)

Cashmere is the second album of the band with the same name, released in 1985 by Philly World Records (and distributed by Atlantic Records). This album also includes their previous 1984 hit "Can I?".

Reception

• Craig Lytle of Allmusic states that: "with the rapid advancement of studio gimmickry and keyboard technology, Cashmere sacrifices the authenticity of real instruments. However, they remain true to the vocality of their music."
