The Effect - The Effect (CD) Digipak

THE EFFECT, that's das sind Trev Lukather (g, ex LEVARA), Emmett Stang (v) and Nic Collins (d). Two thirds of the band, the sons of Steve Lukathers und Phil Collins respectively plus their vocalist explore new territories style-wise. The JOURNEY cover "Could Have Been You" sees Steve Perry (ex JOURNEY) guesting. Even though the three-piece plays music in the shores of progressive rock, hard rock and rather modern rock music in general, there are a lot of really nice tunes on this debut. "Tind" offers a very cool hookline and "Still In It" has got an interesting arrangement. Let's see where these guys end up! (MS)
