The collaboration between two of Germany's finest producers Chris Lausmann (Bonfire, Frontline) and Michael Voss (Silver, Casanova) is a musical feast for fans of melodic rock. This star-ladden project features 10 of the greatest voices in rock: James Christian (House of Lords), Jean Beauvoir (Crown of Thorns), Göran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, Street Talk), Gary Barden (MSG), Harry Hess (Harem Scarem), Robin Beck, Terry Brock (Strangeways, Slamer), Dan Reed (Dan Reed Network), Steve Overland (FM, Shadowman) and Johnny Gioeli (Hardline, Axel Rudi Pell).

Lausmann and Voss are responsible for all the compositions and the production, and are supported by some real heavyweight rock musicians: Angel Schleifer (Bonfire) and Tommy Denander (Radioactive) on guitars and Bertram Engel (Udo Lindenberg, Peter Maffay).

Just by looking at the participants on this album should be enough to make every melodic rock fan drool and immediately put this album on their shopping list, and with good reason because this album rocks!

With such a plethora of great vocalists it's easy to be drawn into the music and simply just kick back and enjoy the music. And speaking of music, all the songs stand the test with great and catchy hooklines, great vocal acrobatics and brilliant guitar leads.

The title says it all, and each vocalist shines on their own, best performances comes from Harry Hess, James Christian, Terry Brock and Dan Reed, but no one falls through - overall a great album for melodic rock fans.
