First Light - Elemental (CD)

Pristine, wonderfully melodic AOR can be found here. FIRST LIGHT and their debut "Elemental" are a hot contender for every Top 10 list of the year. Masterminds are Dave Hardman (g) and Carl Sharples (b) from Spain and England. Andy Jakeman (d) from England as well as Warren Passaro (v) from New York and former FM keyboard wizard Didge Digital complete this truely international outfit. Their sound is more or less a cross between FM, JOURNEY, FOREIGNER or GIANT. Produced by Pete Newdeck (VEGA) and mastered by Harry Hess (HAREM SCAREM). Simply a wonderful piece of work! "Damned If You Do" is a great appetizer. (MS)
