Life Beyond L.A. (1978)

With their third album, Ambrosia moved much more into "mainstream" pop. There are more songs with the typical love themes, with How Much I Feel being particularly emotionally evocative.

Still, there is the wonderfully sardonic Angola, the punchy title track, and some just plain good music.

Both If Heaven Could Find Me and How Much I Feel were radio hits, the latter reaching number 3.
