Making Every Moment Count is the eighth and final studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Peter Allen, released in 1990, two years before his death from an AIDS-related illness. It was his first album of entirely new material since 1983's "Not the Boy Next Door".

Reviews

William Ruhlmann from AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5, saying; "There may [be] nods to his past, but otherwise Allen was very up to date on Making Every Moment Count, employing five different producers to come up with a recording that had a timely sound, complete with icy synthesizer riffs and programmed drums coming on like torpedoes.” He added, “he remained most affecting on the ballads, which had a poignancy that would be accentuated by Allen's death from AIDS in 1992.”^[1]
