SWEDISH WESCOAST MASTERPIECE
Mattias Jonsson | Norsjo, Sweden | 04/26/2004

"One of the best, if not even THE best, westcoast-album to emerge from Sweden. With studio-musician-veterans Per and Sven Lindvall (Per known from work with Michael Ruff) and singer Göran Edman (Street Talk, Yngwie Malmsteen, Radioactive...) this is a very good craftsmanship. From the fade-in of the drum-loop on the first track "The Day The Music Died" (reflecting on Sept. 11, 2001, NYC) via the funkier sounding "Did You Really", the east-coast-groove of ""Flying", beautifyl ballad "Time" and all the way to close-up rocker "You" the whole band really performs a great album - and even adds an additional horn-section on some tracks (thanks!) Very well worth buying if you're anywhere near being into Toto, Foster, Steely Dan, Pages, Graydon and the likes of them."
Not what I thought it would be

"So I buy this CD thinking it was from the REAL Crossfade and was promptly disappointed. This CD is good in its own rights (good west-coast music) but, as my title says, it's not what I thought it would be. A definite loser in my book."
A must for every west-coast fan

"Would you imagine that the cold Sweden is the place where the sunny atmosphere of California in the Seventies comes to life again? If not, then take a chance and listen to this CD. Refined, crystal polished-a pretty unusual sound during these days-you will enjoy the perfect arrangements, the solos, vocals, sided by a metronomical rhythm section will take you to the high places where Chicago, Pages, Toto, Airplay flew many years ago. Make no mistake: this is all but a nostalgic piece of work. It's fresh and up-to-date, but still honey for ears like the one once enjoyed Graydon & friends. Believe me: this is an absolute gem!"
