A LIGHT AOR RELEASE FROM SWEDEN. GREAT STUFF WITH GORAN EDMUND TAKING COMMAND WITH THE VOCALS. OUTSTANDING SONGS FROM THESE VERY TALENTED GUYS. NO HEAVY SONGS BUT STILL A GREAT RELEASE.

Great Swedish AOR release. High vocal performances from both Edman And Andren. Listening this album takes you back in time, a strange past feeling.

Uan verdadera joya del AOR, recomendado totalmente. Goran es mucho Goran. Saludos!!

Probablemente el mejor disco que han sacado."Transition " y "Restoration" no llegan a la altura de este.

The songs are of the classic AOR vein. Big harmonies and choruses, with a mix of guitar and keyboards. The flavour is distinctly European, with the Swedish melodic rock flare highlighted throughout. The production, while not of big budget standards, is considerably better than many of the independant or minor label releases we see. For an album of 10 smooth AOR ballads, both up tempo and slower, in the European flavour, I recommend you investigate Street Talk.

Great AOR album but could have done without the 2 instrumentals "Among Friends" and "Borrowed Time" and the acoustic version of "If You Say Its Over".Why do instrumentals when you have a vocalist as good as Goran Edman?-its a waste.

Thanks for the comments! Best regards from Sweden, Fredrik Bergh

The first songs blows my mind. Melodic rock perfection. Both vocalists on this CD are great, and there is a good vibe to it. An abundance of love songs, but the melodies and execution is good, so good on 'em. Only complaint is the silly title 'Collaboration' for a debut. Sounds like a best of album...

SOLO DIRE QUE ESTO ES CALIDAD TOTAL, ROCK MELODICO DE PRIMER NIVEL. LOS 3 ALBUMS SON JOYAS ABSOLUTAS DEL ROCK MELODICO, NO SE PORQUE ESTE GRUPO ME RECUERDA A LOS 2 PRIMEROS ALBUMS DE HEARTLAND QUE GRANDES Y MAJESTUOSOS. DIOS MIO Y SI SON DE SUECIA, NO HAY PIERDE EL PAIS ESCANDINAVO MAS GRANDE EN ROCK MELODICO, GRACIAS STREET TALK POR EXISTIR. SALUDOS DESDE ICA-PERU.

Coincido con Rafo, a pesar de no tener este album, pero si el Transition y Restoration, son unos de los mejores albunes de aor que he escuchado. La voz de Goran Edman y Hugo son de lo mejor, despues del gran Jeff Scott Soto por supuesto. Hey Rafo, que sorpresa encontrar a un peruano mas como yo en esta pagina. A ver si nos podemos contactar para conversar y esccuhar el gusto por este grane stilo de musica que tenemos en comun.

Excelente disco con la gran voz de Goran (me gusta más que Jeff por su camaleónica voz puede cantar desde westcoast hasta progresivo con una facilidad increíble y sobre todo con sentimiento) y con la colaboración de Kristian Andren ex-cantante de Tad Morose y Wuthering Heigths. Lei una entrevista de Goran que era posible un nuevo disco. El cd japonés tiene como bonus el cover de journey -Separate Ways y una instrumental.

One of the highlights of '97 for me and a mighty fine West Coast/AOR album. I bought the Jap version on the recommendation of someone and remember being blown away by some of the stuff on here. Today it still hits all the right marks and holds it's own against some other very strong releases in this genre. One of the top bands of it's type with 4 absolute belting albums to it's name.

Una delicia para tus oidos. Suenan a unos Journey con los solos a lo Neal Schon como en el solo final de "walk away from love" vaya solo! o la instrumental "borrowed time" y en general en todo el disco. Me gustan mas los temas en los que canta Mr. Edman. La producción tambien esta a la altura de los temas. Lo negativo sería pues los pocos temas cantados pues solo hay 7 + 2 instrumentales y un acústico y tambien hubiera preferido que todas las cante Edman. Mas Street Talk por favoer.. 9.4/10

A ver, suena fresco y tal, pero en mi modesta opinión discrepo de todos mis compañeros que han posteado anteriormente a mí dando buenas críticas hacia el disco. Con mi debido respeto, me parece aburrido. Ya he dicho que suena renovado, pero por otro lado todo me parece más de lo mismo que se puede escuchar en muchos grupos. Hago especial llamamiento a la gente que le molan los estribillos más bien melancólicos o en tonos menores, esto os parecerá monótono.

From: juan carlos	Date: May 22, 2007 at 16:30
Buen apunte, es una opinión muy respetable, a mi el disco me encanta y mas por la voz de Goran Edman que realmente se luce en los temas donde él canta. El bonus es el "Separate Ways" de los JOURNEY, auténtico e imperecedero clásico que en esta versión no lo hacen nada mal, Cuasi-fiel a la original pero no a su altura obviamente, ademas canta Kristian Andren que lo hace regular.

Brillante

As Rude wrote in 2002(now is +12), Fredrik's music touches your emotion, makes you think 'bout years when everyone of us was younger...you know, a feelin' whrn a some tears drop..."Could You Be the Only One" was a fave song of my late best friend, listening to it right now. Rude, cheers, wherever you are...

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: December 2, 2014 at 20:47
Most of the songs in here are mid tempos or moody ones but greats IMHO...i own the Japanese release with 3 bonus tracks("Separate Ways"/Worlds Apart",originally from Journey,"Conclusion" & "I'll Always Remember")...my faves are the nice ones 2,3,6,7 plus the "rocking ones" 1 & 4...of the b/t's the one of Journey is pretty decent...enjoyable and pleasant...87/100

From: Delbert	Date: January 2, 2015 at 17:47
The band's debut melodic AOR album heavily influenced by Steve Perry and JOURNEY. In fact, it's like Journey's softer midtempo songs. You get fluffy keys and vocalists Goran Edman (Glory, Malmsteen, Kharma). Street Talk showcase some of the finest, most melodic AOR and westcoast tunes you'll hear. Totally essential, ultra high quality all the way through every track.
