| damn!!...well i guess i'm third this time round.back in 1994 this was considered one of the most pure aor releases of that year and to be honest even today in 2004 i still think that very few albums could match up that description!. to those of you who loved the planet 3 album, should seriously keep an eye on this one cause stylewise it's very similar and obviously you get to hear the same lead singer! if that wasn't enough credit the quality of the material displayed in here it's near aor

| Awesome. Robin Beck stole the opener to open her own "Can't Get Off" album, but it isn't as good as this. Has to be one of the best opening tunes ever to a CD, and is only better than the first Planet 3 album because it has more tracks! (and Planet 3 has a dreadful last track). Magness is a genius, and after his work with Clay Aiken and O-Town in the US is probably a much richer genius than he was previously! Classic album.

| The album's best moment is the glorious AOR of 'Jennys Still In Love', where the urgency is maintained throughout. 'Only You' is a guitar driven track alternating between accoustic and electric. 'Flower Girl' is a quaint reggae flavored tune which goes against the grain, while another ballad 'Dreams Fade Away' finishes off what is an entertaining album all round.

| CD bastante interesante con altos y bajos.En mi opinión destacaría las canciones "Footprints in the Rain", "It's Only Love" y "Jenny's Still in Love" que me recuerdan muchísimo a Planet 3.Producción de lujo, de hecho Magness es productor del fenómeno canadiense Avril Lagvine.

GREAT GREAT GREAT, KILLER CLASSIC AOR, Ahora si lo digo con mayusculas un CLASICO DEL AOR, sin duda uno de los mejores de ese año en la cumbre, que joyasa, en la onda de Planet 3 aunque estos hacen mas un Westcooast AOR en cambio este es puro AOR, tremendos temas como  It's Only Love(Mi favorito, QUE TEMA POR DIOS, SE ME PONE LA PIEL DE GALLINA, TEMAS ASI CONVIERTEN UN ALBUM EN CLASICO TOTAL), Jenny's Still in Love, Footprints in the Rain, One Way Out, Dreams Fade Away

| A super release which got a little overlooked at the time of it's release. Copies of it now are getting really hard to find so if you see it at a price that you are prepared to pay then grab it. Nice mellow chilled AOR great for a night in. The songs are bang on throughout and the only song I'm not overkeen on is "Flower Girl" has a contrived reggae feel to it. The Japanese copy has a picture of a babys head on it and is just damn cute haha! 10/10 for this as it get LOTS of plays at home.

| Me agrada el disco, no sera una joya pero son temas de calidad. Medios tiempos excelentes como la 1,2,4,6 ese "it´s only love" es un temazo eh.. muy buenas baladas como "hold me lee anne" "only you" "what´s a heart to do" y "dreams fade away" y rockeras como "solo" "ready or not", aunque la unica que descuadra este lindo album es "flower girl". Por lo demas muy bueno, AOR con un sonido americano y estilo a lo mitch malloy.. Clif Magness tiene una muy buena voz 9/10

| Ahora mismo estoy escuchando el disco debut "Measure of Man" de Clay Aiken del 2003(adulto contemporáneo) que está bonito en donde Clif Magness hace de ingeniero, los arreglos, producción y toca el bajo, guitarras, teclados, piano, piano, background vocals en varios temas realmente un sesionista excepcional. Por cierto Clay canta "Run to Me" escrita por Desmond Child que ya lo había escuchado en Shadows Fade. "This is the Night" escrita por Aldo Nova es tambien de lo mejor de ese disco. Saludos.

| Very good album somewhere between lighter AOR(with some howling guitar parts though) & westcoast. "Footprints in the rain" strongly reminds on BRIAN ADAMS in terms of voice. Musically I would place it near to JOHN WARREN's "Rain down on me". Many songs are also hi tech inspirated as is the best example "Ready or not". My favourite "Dreams fade away" is a power hi tech AOR/westcoast ballad of finest choice. However, the other songs are all near that good. 92/100 Imo, Better than PLANET 3.

| This is a decent record, but I do not think this is a masterpiece. I feel the same when it comes to Dan Lucas "Canada". This is light AOR, but Bob Halligan's solodebut is for example better than this one IMO (and that's the same genre). Sometimes Cliff's voice is too soft, when he reaches for the high tunes. Anyway the opener is very good, and it's right that he sounds like Bryan Adams on that one - 8/10.

| For me it's such a perfect candlelight music. It's soft, it's AOR, it is melodic with a little hi tech feel. The best songs IMO I've already mentioned but every song is strong. A masterpiece. But I will listen to Halligan and will be back

| Another real gem from the PLANET 3 saga with the amazing Three (Magness, Graydon and Ballard). Westcoast AOR with great quality. With very romantic and passionate songs like "It´s Only Love", "One Way Out", the cadence of "Khaleela" (which reminds me a lot to Toto); the amazing title track "Solo"; "Flower Girl" and we can hear Clif with a very ACE OF BASE style... but my favorite track is, with no doubt, the incredible "Jenny´s Still In Love", a real AOR masterpiece with melodies and hooks!!

| Well. Despite i consider PLANET 3´s Music From The Planet a better album than this, it´s inevitable to get excited with such songs like these... I strongly recomend L.A. COWBOYS´s Endless Summer, another Westcoast wonder!!

| I'm hooked on the title track "Solo". I just can't stop listening to it! The song sounds like something out of Jeff Paris' "Race To Paradise" or which is right up my alley in the AOR department!

| Now this IS one CD that has been crying out for a re-issue for ages. Surprisingly, this is Clif Magness only solo album so far, but it is westcoast at it's very best in my opinion and some absolute killer songs on here. 'Footprints In The Rain' destroys Robin Beck's version on her 'Can't Get Off' album and just how good are songs like 'Jenny's Still In Love' and 'Khalela'?. The only let down on here is 'Flower Girl', which is a pretty boring reggae tinged pop track, but the 2 extra bonus tracks that have been tacked onto the end of this lovely re-issue, make up for that one little blip and are really very good additions to an already fantastic album.

| Nice album, but not the classic some see in it. The good songs on the record are very good though: the crunching opener Footprints in the rain, and the infectious duo It's only love and Jenny's still in love. These songs are worth the admission price.
