Album Review
Like a bit of keyboards? If so, you’ll absolutely love this record as it’s absolutely drenched in them, courtesy of Norwegian, Dag Selboskar, who has a pedigree in lesser-known but highly credible bands like DaVinci and Street Legal.
The highlights are predominantly super-smooth AOR tracks like the outstanding ‘Fortune and Fame’ and ‘Phoenix Rising’, both of which highlight great vocals from Frode Vassel, and there’s other soft gems like ‘Wild Young and Free’ and ‘Beautiful Flyaway’ to enjoy too. But there’s also a healthy dose of prog-lite in an Asia / Styx style on tracks like opener ‘In My Dreams’, ‘Heads Down’ and others.
Don’t be put off by the name, there’s much to enjoy here and fans of Work of Art and Lionville will love this.
