Frederic Slama is a French producer and musician who moved to Los Angeles. Since then he has released a number of albums (including ”L.A. Reflection” and ”Dreaming of L.A.”using some top session musicians. Now he’s releasing another AOR album with an impressive list of musicians and singers.<\/p>\n
The first thing that struck me with the album was the sheer number of people involved. For a start there are ten singers, with almost every song being sung by someone different. Add in al the guitarists, bassists, keyboard players and drummers and you’ve got a huge number of people.
\nAs a result of each song having a different singer then that straight away gives each song a slightly different sound, so there’s plenty to keep you interested in this album. While each song has it’s own identity, what they all have in common is a consistently high quality, and they all feel like they belong together on the album rather than any feeling out of place.<\/p>\n
This is an absolutely superb album that all fans of AOR or melodic rock should certainly check out.<\/p>\n
