Front & Inner1Most of Toto is here with Fee and some writing by Richard Marx. Sure, this LP killed the Tubes group (see my Love Bomb review for the details) but Fee sure put out a gem! The music is very catchy and well performed. It has a very 80s sound, but still beats the pants off of most of today's new releases. Every time I play this CD for someone I am consistently asked who the artist is and where did I get the CD. So get yours too!

ROB MANCINI is a vocalist out of Ireland but a descent of German / Italian origins. “United We Stand” is a very well played EP circulating the world of melodic Hard Rock. Within the tracklist there are two versions of the track “United We Stand”. The first is an orchestral version displaying a Mancini's softer tones; it turned out to be a beautiful ballad with violins in the background, such a sweet aura & melodic Rock ballad.

TOMMYDENANDER_LAThis is a very Limited (500 Copies) release of tracks from 'Less Is More' & 'Skeleton' aswell as previously unreleased demo's etc and is a very nice collection of songs. '5492' is probably the most notable track here as it features all the Toto boys (minus Mr. Lukather) & is an absolute gem of a track. If you like Tommy's stuff then this is a very nice item to finish off the old TD collection. If you see it grab it 'cos its as rare as hens teeth!!!

This debut album from Danish four piece Karma Cowboys comes with a sticker on its cover proudly proclaiming it to contain music "for fans of kick ass rock n roll with a Scandinavian flavour."  Now that tasty sound bite certainly had me interested, as it pretty much ticks all my prerequisites for an Über approved album, and on first play I have to say I was tapping my foot along like some outcast from the 'White Nights' film cast.

The band claims influences and inspiration from Scorpions, Judas Priest and Skid Row but, in my opinion, these cannot be detected in the music on this album. A far more accurate comparison, and these are taken from the publicity shot, would be The Black Keys, Jack White, The Struts and Greta Van Fleet which gives you a flavour of where Be The Wolf is at.
