Skagarack - Heart And Soul (CD)

SKAGARACK from up North (Denmark) put out three really good and relevant melodic rock albums towards the end of the eighties and also "Big Time" (1993) had its strong moments. Right after that he band disbanded for a long time. The new album of the band around Torben Schmidt (v/g) contains not that much arena and mainstream rock like e.g. "Hungry For The Game" (1988) but rather bluesy stuff but definitely high quality songwriting and a dense atmosphere. The guitars foremost (Jan Petersen) and the charismatic voice of Schmidt are pretty remarkable, though. "Heart And Soul" is a mature record with a lot of depth and emotion. (MS)
