Saxon, orchestral and unplugged!! Hmmm...I wasn't sure how this was gonna work tbh, as other bands that have done this type of thing, have been a bit hit and miss. Thankfully this gets the big thumbs up, especially the orchestrated versions, which really are very good indeed. Check out 'The Eagle Has Landed' and 'Broken Heroes' which both work especially well, although all the versions add an extra dimension to the originals and make for a really enjoyable listen. Of the re-records, 'Militia Guard' (which is not listed as being re-recorded, but obviously is) has never sounded better and the acoustic version of 'Frozen Rainbow' is in a word, superb. This is excellently produced too, with a lush, melodic and powerful sound bringing out the best in all the tracks. As a bonus, the 2 CD version features an extra disc of the previously released 'Heavy Metal Thunder' re-records, so if you haven't already got that, this is an excellent way of getting 2 very good Saxon releases in one go.
