What If 2000 (1987) frontBRILLIANT 10/10. This can only be best described as heavied up West Coast, somewhere between Mr Mister, Tim Feehan and latter-day Richard Marx. The fluid guitar of Landau and the impressive vocals of Funderburk tips the scales in my favor though the overly laden brass parps from Larry Williams keyboards do tend to get slightly overbearing at times. However, for the most part it's stylish AOR/melodic rock.

However, life got in the way: the vocalist Minna Ora’s breast cancer diagnosis ruined the plan.During Minna Ora’s cancer treatments, the band continued to record in her studio ‘BlackMoon’ and the recordings of the LP are her work.

coverSorrowfield returns with "The Great Day" from a very famous Fourth beat, let not Underground connoisseur notice immediately on the first pass. After a three-year-long break, which was indeed interrupted by the 2013er EP "Sax, Blood & Rock'n Roll", but this may not count, because I missed the EP at the time, all coals lay the Bremer Sympathen So again into the fire. In three great albums the guys may indeed look back, but the desire for further improvement in quality can be heard clearly in every note. It is this incentive is rewarded.
