Co-produced by Clyde Holly of Biloxi. I liked this one okay but not among my favorites. Sure most AOR fanatics will disagree, but oh well. Fans of Biloxi, Intuition, etc., may enjoy this.

A great little indie, bringing back the days of melodic guitars, catchy hooks, sing-along choruses, & big backing vocals. Recommended for fans of Loud & Clear, Pokerface, Rude, etc. Production is very good for an indie album, meaning your neighbors won't hear your stereo & think you're hosting amateur karaokee night. Bottom line, if I had to choose between giving up this CD or seeing Anna Kournikova streaking naked down my street...well, I'd give up the CD, but that doesn't mean it isn't good!

first of all, the comment of M. Allen is very funny..this release always did it for me, at least 4 of the 8 songs. the opener 'back on the streets' is an example of classic american melodic rock at its best. , 'how can i say' together with 'hold me' are my favorite songs on this album. they do remind me a bit of stryper.I know this release since 1994 and it always had its fair number of spins but i always remember listening to 'here today' while cruising along lake havassu, usa..very good cd!

I love this tape, I have had this way befor eknow illusion came out. I helped spread their music and their name around the world. I am very proud of them. I had just came across the tape again and it brings back alot of memories.

I am amazed that this album is still being appreciated! Shane Chadwick and I are curently releasing a ballad CD in the summer of 2005 with Piano and Orchestration for songs on the old Know Illusion album such as (Here to day tomorrow gone) and (Always). Please contact me for more information Thanks so much Ernesto DePalma Ernesto@Socal.rr.com

This is a very good one. Two comparisons above ring very true to me, in Stryper and Loud and Clear. Not too similar, but good comparisons. 'How can I say', 'Always', 'Hold me' are nice melodic rock tracks and 'Here today gone tomorrow' is a great track. Pretty damn good indie release if you ask me!

Awesome indie band,one of my fave indie as well.Well,agree with Loud'n'Clear debut comparrison Geoff,but the first impression reminds me immediately to Tour De Force(world on fire cd)expecially in tracks"how can I say"and"always".Really close to Tour De Force these guys also in singer stylin'.Maybe they could remind me a little also to Worlds Apart debut cd...

I would love to add that Ernesto (the vocalist) did send me a cdr with songs that didn't made it on the album...I can assure you they rock..Songs like 'driving me crazy' and 'party down' are in the vein of the best material on this album..Great stuff..Ernesto is also planning an acoustic album with ballads and some tunes from the known illusion cd..The man has a great voice, so why not..I lost his address so I never thanked him for the cd..So , Ernesto, thank you for the cool tunes and good luck

I have had the pleasure of playing next to Ernesto many nights, as well as hearing His and Shanes' new stuff. The world is in for a musical storm that it has not seen in a long time. I can not wait to feel the rain. Finally, Music that is submerged in passion that will reach the coldest of hearts! SM

Great indie band that deserved to be signed by a major!...nice songs,catchy and overall AORRRRRR!!!.all tracks are worth in every aspect being perhaps "How Can I Say","Hold Me" & "Here Today" with its epilogue "Gone Tomorrow which is a very steady vocal track, my faves..."Always" is a beautiful ballad and "Back On The Streets" is an excellent opener..great vocals by Ernesto Depalma (is he a latino guy???)..if he is,well done my friend!.Buy it eyes closed,95/100
