The Scrounger's ReportMar. 05, 2000And what, to my wondering ears, should appear......but a bunch of CDs in the mail! Terraplane - Back to Innocence. 9 tracks recorded at the NEC Arena, Birmingham, Jan 23, 1985. 6 tracks recorded at Hayrair, New Castle, Feb 7, 1986. It's most definitely Terraplane (pre-Thunder), there's no mistaking that, but unfortunately, like most bootlegs, the sound quality is absolutely horrendous. *sigh* Sieges Even - Steps. 1990. Steamhammer (Germany). *YAWN* A CD in search of a chorus. Too much progressive aimless wandering. This one gets punted. Big Chill - Halfway to Heaven. 1992. Music For Nations. Well, the band photo implies a heavy metal/thrash metal sound. The first thing you hear are light and fluffy keyboards. Huh??? It turns out to be fairly solid hard rock with your occasional keyboard interlude/overlay that leans toward something lighter. Ghost - The Other Side. 1996. A2Z Records. Some excellent AOR here, although at times the vocals seem a little "pinched". Track 8 "He'll Let You Down" is just HUGE! Ghandi - Grateful Message. 1990. Metal Giant Records. Some good ole' '80s heavy metal with nice high-pitched vocals. I like it! Well executed, it sometimes retreats into hardrockville. FISC - Handle With Care. 1988. Musidisc (France). Jimmy Martin. Why do I know that name?? Is this the same person that did "Kids of the Rockin' Nation"? Decent AOR/hard rock. You can tell this was a European release: the cover art would NEVER have made it past U.S. censors. Egads! -Dan |
