TEN’s third album ”The Robe” always has been celebrated for its mix of their first melodies with a more hard rocking style, an advance of what they would develop in full on the next CD. On the other hand, the albums has been criticized for its muddy production. This remaster has improved the sound quality incredibly.

On ”Spellbound”, their fourth full length album the band hardened their sound, much more hard rock oriented, however the soaring melodies and Hughes AOR vocals are still there. ”Spellbound” includes some of my favorite TEN songs, and it’s another album them to treasure.
