Wow. CROSSFADE started out as a duo in 1999 in Sk\u00f6vde, Sweden. Lars Hallb\u00e4ck, guitars, and Richard Stenstr\u00f6m, keyboards were introduced and a musical journey was set in motion. They debuted in 2004 with \u201cWhite on Blue\u201d, and were compared to the likes of TOTO, CHICAGO and THE EAGLES. Great reviews flooded them and they stayed out on what was to become this album, a full seven years later! No touring has taken place, and there seems to be no plans for it either. But on this album you will find caressing harmonies, the voice of one G\u00f6ran Edman, Hallb\u00e4ck\u00b4s guitar sound and the hit potential of AOR and westcoast. <\/p>\n
I dare you to find a more complete album in 2009! The opener \u201cA Wonderful Illusion\u201d is one of the two weakest tracks, being only a 4\/5 piece\u2026 The pits is \u201cHeart of a hero\u201d, since I don\u00b4t care much for harmonicas, Mats Ronander or not. But the remaining nine songs are pure enjoyment American style. Remember the hits of TOTO et al, you\u00b4ll find their missing pieces here. The title track is completely bedazzling, the same goes for \u201cWaiting for a Miracle\u201d. The first would have raised TOTO\u00b4s bar an inch, the second is soothing westcoast, they way most people want it. The overall sound is great, the musicians simply excel themselves and no one can possibly be disappointed with this album. Unless you have problems with more relaxing music that is\u2026<\/p>\n
