Gowan – Gowan (1982)

Posted on December 23, 2014 in Melodic Rock | AOR by Vitto

FrontFantastic disc which is sounding a litlle bit more hard rock than the other Gowan’s albums. This one + “Strange Animal” + “Great Dirty World” and the awesome “Lost Brotherhood” are pretty excellent discs full of atmospheres and fine worked melodies. At the same time Pomp, AOR and proggy… Gowan combines all those style to make a single expressive music, emotional and diversified. Great musician, great songwriter, fantastic singer… Gowan is a genius ! 9/10

newman-newmanSince the first album was released in 1997, Newman have established themselves as one of the leading UK melodic rock artists over the last 17 years. With a total of 11 albums until now Steve Newman has proved over the years that you can only expect high quality stuff from this great guy. As the original pressing is impossible to find these days Steve has decided to re-record the entire first album with the addition of 4 bonus tracks from the original sessions. Classic British AOR stuff next to heartland and Stragneways.

Jim Peterik – Above The Storm (2006)

Posted on December 16, 2014 in Melodic Rock | AOR by Alex F

Well, Mr. Peterik did it again. How old is he, anyway? Whatever the years he’s ‘carrying’ are, he does not seem to take a break from music. Be it his creativity, ‘making albums’ management or good timing, he’s definitely succeeded in keeping his name on the spot for a lot of years in a row. Not depending on anyone’s personal music taste(s), it’s an objective point of fair review for a man who’s mind seems to never run out of ideas.
