Update: Temporary Message Board Closure
Update: Board ourage has been delayed due to consultant's schedule. Outage TBD.
The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that
would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling
to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different
platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content
(posts, user profiles, etc.).
However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere
from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated.
While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some
long-term savings.
I will post updates here. The main site (where you are
reading this), will NOT be affected.

| What a fantastic CD! An overlooked gem, I'd call this one. I don't have this version - just the double CD with their 2nd album included, which was poor. Either way, this is killer melodic hard rock full of keys but still with plenty of balls. 'Paradise' and 'Can't Stop' are monster hook-filled melodic hard rockers, and on the softer side 'Shy away' and 'Nothin's Missin' are amazing ballads. My fave song, however, might be 'The Mask'. Awesome stuff, awesome disc. Who do they sound like, you ask? Hard to say. I'd take a stab at maybe prime Von Groove, except with more keys. Definitely recommended.

| Itīs Clear to me that the best track of this album is "The Mask" but donīt forget about "Paradise" "Shoulder To Cry On" "Canīt Stop" and "Big Dream", Great job of Langlade on vocals that reminded me a bit of Michael Bormann/Paul Laine. strong/awesome Choruses and Catchy Tunes, great Melodic HardRock/AOR. 9/10

| Oh man.....just when I thought I had it figured out too. Geoff does like stuff with keyboards after all???? Well, this time, we are in total agreement. This debut from the Canadian band is loaded with monster, hook filled rockers and chock full of keys....Their sound is a cool melodic hard rock in the style of HAREM SCAREM, VON GROOVE's debut, WALL OF SILENCE and CONEY HATCH. I highly recommend it. I was able to get the indie version for my collection which was pretty cool...
