I have played to death their two albums, especially <em>Eye Of The Storm<\/em> (1991); their mid-tempos, steeped in pure melodic class, are the perfect crossroad between AOR and melodic rock. The choice of Michael Shotton as frontman, however, was based not only on my admiration for his talents, but because I wanted to give a strong personality to the album and make the music more personal and original.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m absolutely thrilled about this partnership with Frontiers.
