and this is a really to find one: MYLAND‘s third album “Light Of A New Day” in its Japanese Edition, with different artwork and which bonus track is the title track, curiously not present on the regular European release.
For this second album, the Italy, Milan based Melodic Rock band has undergone several lineup changes, with only founding member drummer Paolo Morbini and guitarist Hox Martino remaining from the original.

time
here’s Italian melodic rockers MYLAND debut album “The Time Is Over“, released 2005 and re-released 2006 with new cover art. MYLAND is the brainchild of drummer, keyboardist and songwriter Paolo Morbini, co-funded with singer Guido Priori, both sharing an unabashedly love for JOURNEY, Steve Perry era. And as you could guess, their debut album follows that same arena rock/AOR blueprint.

Hailing from France, CHASING VIOLETS is formed by sisters Sarah & Melissa Fontaine, and their debut "Outside Heaven" surely will please the AOR / Melodic Rock community. Produced and co-written by Frederic Slama (project AOR) and with songs co-arranged by the legendary Tommy Denander, Paul Sabu, Robert Sall (Work of Art) and Alessandro Del Vecchio (Shining Line) among other luminaries, we have some notorious players as well contributing in the instrumentation.

frontAwesome female fronted band from Toronto, Ontario and the lead singer, Nicole LeGault, went on to become a well known singing instructor there. There are some incredibly powerful moments on here. You gotta hand it to Ms LeGault, she really shines on this album, and it's a shame we never heard anything more from her after this one album.

While reduced to cult circles, we’re living in a renaissance of the soulful, funky side of West Coast AOR / pop of decades past – think Steely Dan, Michael McDonald and Doobie Brothers. They’ve all been rediscovered by hipsters and other trend-conscious music-fans, slightly ironically named «yacht-rock». However, all too few of them has noticed that one of the worlds best artists of the genre is Norwegian!
