Revlin Project - Beyond The Dreams (CD)

AOR from South America seems to be upand coming recently. Bands from Peru are a rare treat, though. REVLIN PROJECT around Nilver Pérez (keys) and frontman Renato Costa who are joined by numerous guests like Nick Hogg (b, NITRATE) or Ken Sandin (b, ex-ALIEN) deliver ten well-done tracks. Although the lead vocals are a bit unusual at times, the production and songwriting in general is pretty good. Just check out the rough "Fighters Dreamers!" or the highly melodic "The World Beyond Your Eyes". REVLIN PROJECT does offer a certain exotic touch for sure. (MS)
