The British David, not the 'Canadian' David

"It appears that many people think this is the David Foster of "St. Elmo's Fire" fame, who released keyboard/orchestral music...



It is NOT.



This is the David Foster that was part of the same group (the Warriors) as Jon Anderson of YES fame, and eventually went on to form the band FLASH with Peter Banks (also of YES fame.) He is the co-writer of a few YES songs (hence the re-make found here)



That being said, I must say that the album is somewhat bland... not bad, but nothing spectacular either; and certainly NOT the same romantic/majestic piano player many people seem to be confusing him with!"

Don't get too excited...

"I'm a HUGE David Foster Fan, and of course I had to buy this one as well, BUT... !!! This is NOT the David Foster you think it is. He might look the same on the cover, but the music is completly different. I know my Foster well!

This is an artist who happens to have the same name. Though HE should change it, I guess he makes some sort of profit of it.

Now that we have cleared the air... The album is not that bad. It's filled with nice songs accompanied by guitars. So if you're into this kind of music, you might wanna check it out, but there are so many other albums I would reckomend before this one. But HEY... if you wanna be the SECOND guy in the world to buy this, you just go ahead."
