Ian Wilde - Dream Hunter (CD)

Spain and AOR, that's a remarkably fine match recently. IAN WILDE, former frontman of WILD FREEDOM, puts out a fine and pure AOR record. Ten at least good compositions with a certain ear candy guarantee and a fitting production arouse attention, even though programmed drums and a little bit of an accent in the vocals weaken the impression a little bit here. The futuristic artwork is a nice piece of art and also there are no fillers whatsoever. A suitable first glimpse into the album is the irresistable "Close Your Eyes". The name IAN WILDE is one to be remembered. (MS)
