KANSAS – In The Spirit Of Things [SHM-CD Remaster] (2012)

“In The Spirit Of Things” was the last KANSAS album recorded in the eighties, and for my melodious ears, one of the best of their entire career.
A year and a half after Kansas disbanded at the end of 1983, former lead singer and keyboardist Steve Walsh returned to revive the group along with original band members Phil Ehart and Rich Williams.
Bass player and vocalist Billy Greer (who had worked with Walsh in the band Streets after he left Kansas in 1981) completed the new line-up with guitarist Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs and later Deep Purple), who added a heavier, rockier sound to the band’s music.
The debut of this new line-up was the rockin’ “Power” in 1986.

Their label wanted a commercial sounding follow-up, so for “In The Spirit Of Things” external contributors were brought to the table.
In first place, mighty Canadian Bob Ezrin (Kiss, Alice Cooper, The Babys), who has not only produced but also co-arranged and co-written, helped on many tracks by another white-glove producer; Greg Ladanyi (Toto, Eric Martin, Asia).
Add to this tracks penned by Mark Spiro, Dan Huff (Giant), Bruce Gaitsch (Richard Marx, King of Hearts) and Marc Jordan, and there’s no need to tell you that this recording is clearly ’80s AOR oriented.

“In The Spirit Of Things” has the crisp, lush, big, typically big-budget ’80s sound we all love.
But while ‘Power’ basically rocked hard in a high tempo throughout, this is a more mellow and reflective affair, balanced with many semi-midtempo AOR tunes, rockers and some ballads. And truly good ones.
The mellow nature of the album is revealed right from the start with the excellent “Ghosts”, a slow and beautiful piano-based ballad which explodes at the end, featuring a fantastic vocal performance by Walsh.
But next track is a bombastic AOR-rocker with on-top drums, a swirling guitar and excellent vocal arrangements, complete with a choir.
“Inside Of Me” is one of my favorites, a mid-tempo poppy AOR showcasing Walsh’s strongest vocals in years, as well as showing the band’s ability for razor-sharp execution and catchy choruses.

Then arrives my pick of the album; “One Man, One Heart” was written by Mark Spiro / Dan Huff, so expect a monster AOR song with great atmospherics and a refrain to die for. I bet many classic AOR fans never heard this track. Never is too late. Seriously, one of the Best AOR songs of the ’80s, an absolute winner.
They keep the uptempo pace for the moment with “House On Fire”. Here the Hammond organ is brought in, and the guitar sounds more like it did on the Power album. A strong rocker with killer dynamics.
“Once in a Lifetime” slow things down with a reflective acoustic guitar, that picks up during the chorus into a melodic rock backbone melody.
With “Stand Beside Me”, written by the duo Marc Jordan & Bruce Gaitsch, we have (obviously) a poppy melodic AOR tune. The chorus is simply delicious.
The muscular proggy AOR of “I Counted On Love” is another high point in the album.
“The Preacher” has a good blues / hard rockin’ structure with some solid riffs, and the melodies are quite memorable. The choir adds a much needed layer during the chorus.

For the remaining tracks, Kansas has reserved space for a crossover with the ‘new’ sound of the band with their classic ’70s style.
“Rainmaker” is epic and dramatic, with Walsh singing in great form over the choir, telling a haunting story. Heavier proggy instrumentation follows, with an awesome guitar / keyboard work. Terrific track.
“T.O. Witcher” is a terse acoustic short guitar piece, nostalgic and appealing, showing Morse’s ability and class with the 6-strings.
The album ends with “Bells Of Saint James”, a monster song, incredibly produced and arranged. Morse scratches out a quick solo, the vocals soar and the drumming is terrific. The musicianship show the band in great form and somewhat reminding of their power and majesty of the ’70s but with a lush ’80s sound. Repeat this track many times in a row, and you will find more and more beauty after each listen. Superb.

As you see, I wrote many words describing “In The Spirit Of Things”. Yes, you guessed, it’s one of my favorite albums of the ’80s.
The truth is that this recording is a pot of gold, with excellent songwriting, musicianship and an out-of-this-world production. Rabid Kansas first-hour fans hate it loudly, but I know this is a guilty pleasure for most of them.
Finally, this great album has received a glorious 24-bit remastering and a proper SHM-CD press which sounds truly great.
A must have for any ’80s AOR fan and lovers of the good sounds.

MAD MAX – Another Night of Passion (2012)

320+LOSSLESS!

Mad Max might not be a familiar name amongst most U.S. rock fans, but maybe they should be. This band has been releasing new music since 1982! They haven’t made a major impact on the U.S. rock scene, but their music is very good, and they are a band worth checking out. I enjoyed Michael Voss’ vocals on the recent Michael Schenker album,Temple of Rock, so I have been looking forward to checking out his band, Mad Max. On their latest album, Another Night of Passion, the band has reunited with their 1987 lineup, to release an album that 80?s hard rock fans are sure to love.

If the Rocklahoma music festival ever needed a theme song, Mad Max has taken care of that with their song “Rocklahoma”. Fans of the music festival need to give this song a listen, you are sure to love it!

Another Night of Passion is packed full of catchy songs with plenty of hooks.  Give the songs “40 Rock”, “You Decide” and “Welcome to Rock Bottom” a listen.  You will likely be as hooked as I am.

If that is not enough to pique your curiosity, there are also a couple of excellent rockers with the songs,  “Metal Edge” and “Back and Alive”. The album closes out on a strong note. with an excellent instrumental track, “True Blue”.

I have been enjoying Another Night of Passion, and I think you will too.  Another Night of Passion will be released on March 26th, 2012.  You can pre-order it at this link.  Don’t miss out on one of the better releases of 2012!

‘Canadian Jimi Hendrix’ guitar player and singer Frank Marino, felt uncomfortable in any musical era – except that which had once and for all in his head. Having started his career in 1970 as a copier frenetic Hendrix, by the end of the decade, he was able to develop your own style, organically absorbed into itself in equal parts blues, psychedelic and primitive hard rock. Theoretically, the 80th would have to bring the music of Frank commercial developments – but this did not happen: in the ‘From The Hip’ guitarist and accompanies his trio repelled mainly by the modernized urban blues, only occasionally stumbling on the rough biker-rock (‘Ride My Own Wave ‘) and the endless’ space’ improvisation.
Tracklist:

01. Babylon Revisited
02. I’m Ready
03. How Long
04. Rise Above
05. Mine All Mine
06. Ride My Own Wave
07. Stand
08. The Wall Came Down
