Mystery Moon - Shine (CD)

MYSTERY MOON, that's mainly the German multi-instrumentalist, songwriter und producer Markus Pfeffer (BARNABAS SKY, LAZARUS DREAM, ATLANTIS DRIVE) and the Swedish vocalist Rob Lundgren (MENTALIST). Of course, in this hard rock environment the guitars are the main ingredients, too, but because of the opulent, epic and atmospheric keyboards at times and the constant emotional vocals of Lundgren, you get quite a distictive sound from the other Pfeffer projecs out here on these elven tracks plus a second version of "Moment Of Life". For a reliable first impression, just check out the powerful seven-minute openening track by the name of "Now's The Time". (MS)
