Autumn's Child - Tellus Timeline (CD)

"Tellus Timeline" is already the fifth album of AUTUMN'S CHILD, the "new" outfit around Mikael Erlandsson (v, ex SECRET SERVICE, ex LAST AUTUMN'S DREAM) from Sweden. The absolute highlight is the impressive duet "Juliet" with ALIEN frontman Jim Jidhed. The good old friends harmonize perfectly. Pretty remarkable is "Gates Of Paradise", too, which comes into being together with opera singer Karin Funk. This time on some of the tracks, Erlandsson showcases his passion for Seventies glam rock in the vein of T-REX, SLADE or SWEET. But mostly, of course, it's melodic rock with a stunning sense for hooklines - like always! (MS)
