| I didn't know about the 2 bonus tracks since I have the American version. Anyway, I love this CD. Just saw them live this past Friday, and they played 'See I'm Not The Same' and 'Straight Ahead' amongst a few more originals from their 2nd CD as well as countless covers of bands like Journey, Heart, Queensryche and Styx. Grab this one, it's a sure winner!

| They also have another CD, Storyline. It isn't as progressive as this one, though the production is a lot better. For more info on this band, visit www.fortune-music.com

| Very impressive indeed this one. Only got this recently, but it has already made it's mark. It reminds alot of the megatastic 'Wrabit' who released 3 mighty albums way back with hints of Harlan Cage in places aswell. Just listen to Bob Vose on 'When The Time Is Right' and tell me he doesn't sound like Wrabit's Lou Nadeau. The material is good throughout aswell, my picks being 'When The Time Is Right','Never Felt So Bad' & 'On My Way'. A Very Pleasant surprise.

| Not bad indeed, Jez and better than Wrabit. But still no match for the one and only Fortune !(pre-Harlan Cage !).

| F*ck!!! This is one I really have to whip out again. From what I recall, this reminds me of a much lesser mix of Universe and Zero. Both of those bands I consider stunning, but this one I consider good, so it is not a comparison of quality, just who I am reminded of. But this is really a good one, and I've just been reminded how badly I want their second disc. Anyone... please? Good solid melodic rock disc, this one.

| Maybe because I love great keys on aor I love this cd.Excellent pomp class aor.Their second cd"Storyline"has a stunning production(better than this one)who shows an excellent musichanships with some really good arrangements but..there isn't absolutely comparrison with this one,IMO.Weak melodies,tracks begin with great energy but refrains are very weak and forgattable except some good songs and a killer track but now I don't remember which is.BTW I consider"Storyline"a good one anyway....

| This is a good solid melodic hard rock CD with a good sound, but I think my comparisons to Zero and Universe were actually way off. There is just no comparison in terms of song-writing, but having heard this 10 mins ago I'd say they sound like Forever / S.I.N with the guy from Slyboyz on vocals. Good solid disc, and 'Live can change direction' is a great ballad. Nice melodies.

| Geoff, if you're looking for their second disc, Storyline, go towww.fortune-music.com, they have info on how to get it. There's some irony in your comment about the Slyboyz singer. Bob Vose (Fortune's singer) used to give him vocal lessons. Both are phenomenol singers!

| very good hard heavy release by FORTUNE with fine musicianship ,good songs and some good hooks!the sound is between hard rock and heavy metal like QUEENSRYCHE at times but overall there s a commercial approach !"when the time is right","straight ahead" ,'on my way " and the ballad "lives can change direction " which reminds me of STREET LETHAL are the highlights of this enjoyable release!

Sorry guys but i wasn't really impressed on this one,their following record is far better IMO...a not so pretentious AOR release with some touches of Prog here and there...best songs for me were "When The Time Is Right" plus the 2 bonus tracks...probably some other decent moments are tracks 1,5,6 & 8...65/100

| Lets avoid the confusion from the outset. This is not a long lost album from the band which spawned the guys from Harlan Cage, and who themselves released their classic 'Fortune' LP back in 1985. Oh no, these guys are a different set altogether, but who've been around just as long.. 1986 in fact. This rare 10 track indie was self produced by the band and privately released by them in 1993. They are from Massechusetts and the album was picked up and released in Japan on the Brunette label later in 1993 with two bonus tracks. Bob Vose is a singer who could step quite easily into Dennis Churchill-Dries shoes in WHITE SISTER. Jeremy Heussi's keyboard work is fantastic. The guitar pairing of DiStefano and Plourde give the band a great guitar assault. It would come as no surprise to me that the boys have used Scholz and Goudreau (you know, from BOSTON) as a bit of inspiration, though their styles are obviously different. High on my 'listen list' is the BILOXI like 'When The Time Is Right'. F

| Bob Vose. Ridiculous power and range. Check out some of these rare videos from way back in '93. Shitty video but the live vocals are off the chain! If you like singers like Tate, Delp, Halford I think you'll be in for a treat.
