The Unknown - Big Dreams (CD)

"Big Dreams", the only release of THE UNKNOWN before they got a major deal in 1992 and changed their name to BLACKFISH, came out in 1989 and to this day it is a sought after AOR gem. The Americans sound like WHITE LION, BON JOVI or GREAT WHITE to a certain degree, although being even a bit more poppy. This rerelease makes senss for sure and is remastered but (unfortunately) lacks any bonus material, though. "Can't Give Up" and "Say It To Me" give you a reliable taste of this record. A true contender for one of the best eras for melodic rock music. (MS)
