Just occasionally I am introduced to a CD that I know next to nothing about by my good friends Gez and John at Loud One Mail order and because they know what I like I trust them and go with it. When I first put the CD in I must confess to a little trepidation but being open to new music is the most enjoyable part of the Justin Case experience and sometimes you have to have faith in others and put aside any doubts and to Gez and John’s credit they have not let me down and I am sure they will continue to help me in my tireless quest to seek out the best new music there is.

But I am getting sidetracked when the music came out of the headphones and travelled along to my brain something curious happened (yes I do still have one, just) it caused a very strange reaction, my scalp tightened, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and WOW this does not happen very often but when it does it never fails to cause such a reaction that I feel totally overwhelmed. That is how good this CD is, musically it’s classically inspired in the vein of Rainbow / Malmsteen but better than both put together. You only have to listen to "Only Human", "Take My Pain", "Fly To The Rainbow" and I promise you will be hooked. Their version of Vivaldi’s Spring from the Four Seasons Suite is pure genius and I hope that they get round to recording the other 3 parts. Add to this their version of "I Surrender" and a guitar piece by J S Bach and you have one of the best CD’s to come out of Germany in years and their have been some fantastic music come out over the last year in particular, Primal Fear, Gamma Ray, Brainstorm etc. If you want to experience the same reaction as me, PURCHASE THIS CD NOW.

I cannot stress how good this CD is and you can bet it will be played on the next Justin Case HFM Rock show.
