Georg is an awesome guy to work with and regardless of the circumstances I am so proud to be apart of the last AOR heaven release of such an extensive catalogue of artists over the last 20 years. I think there is a couple labels that will fill in the gap with Georg/Aor heaven going to retire. HTGR has a new release and we are talking with a few labels right now. There is one we are speaking to that I think will do a fantastic job! If you think Sudden Impact is going to be exciting - wait till this new release. The bands music video is going to hit 50,000 views very soon. Pretty good for a band no one has really heard about in a long time!

It is the same band that was in both releases. Who ever did it in the past made a few typos. The spelling and grammar is incorrect for the band members. For now I would fix the first disc which is entirely incorrect. I will be more than happy to provide the second disc information once I get clearance from the label. I will email them right now for you.

Saw the update - Not sure where the editor got their information from as I am their manager...there is way more bonus tracks - a whole disc! 2022 AOR HEAVEN REISSUE IS A 2 DISC SET DISC 1 1) Intro 2) Magic 3) Moment To Moment 4)Slow Motion 5) Don't You Look 6) Oh No! 7) An Original 8) Over and Over 9) Whos Walking You Home 10)Too Late 11) While It Lasted 12) The Beginning (The Swamp) DISC 2 - Not revealing until the release on Jan 14 2022 BAND ROSTER - Lots of corrections Bass - Paul Piccari Drums - Jimmy Katone Keyboards - Rob Kay Guitar - Alan Augunas Vocals - Blair Rumsey Thanks!

My friend Bryan Hughes has un-earthed a new un-released song today. It was cut from the original 1990 solo album "Break The Rules" The song is called "Time Will Tell". I helped him digitize the material. Took almost 2 years to remaster and clean up. Worth the wait. Enjoy

If you are not familiar with Brian Island he is a fantastic AOR musician that got lost in the shuffle in 1989. He was a member of the band Prototype who had a handful of hit songs in the early 1980's. He also worked with QWest, White Wolf and early Boulevard, and Sting. I did a profile of his 1989 release on my podcast with a lot of people tuning in. It is a really interesting story. Self Produced, financed and promoted not a single label picked up the album. He sold the album directly to a record chain (Like HMV) called A&A records. The album was a huge success for an independent artist with the song "when you lose your love" staying on the charts for 5 solid months. When A&A went bankrupt a few months later, he couldn't get back on the radio with no sales. His amazing production and song writing skills have finally come to fruition with an official label release tentative in 2021. Finding the original CD is almost impossible. Stay tuned! Really cool story. Enjoy. If you want a listen here is a link:

it was only released in canada only on the charts for a few weeks. Shanghai is good. too late but big in japan!

the solo stuff is a lot softer. his best harder album is "itch" in 1994.

tom is a good friend of mine. he is really working hard on this project. very talented duo!

i couldnt find his albums but i managed to find his greatest hits CD. great musician, in the veins of Jimmy Barnes with more pop elements.

Most of my rarities are on vinyl: On vinyl: I have a copy of Kings'X's first band - "Sneak Preview" on LP - Apparently less than 300 copies are in existence. Most were destroyed since the band didnt like the final product. On Cd: Shanghai (1991) - Take another bite (Japanese pressing)- obscure hair metal band White heat (1989) - we never heard of you either Obscure AOR group from western canada - produced by gil moore of triumph - good group worrall (1991) - original pressing. produced by jim gaines (well known producer) from canada. aor mould. good group

if i remember correctly when their first big release came out(same title) the lead singer won a local music award for vocals

Thank you everyone!

lmao - i have two bands i submitted. pale divine and ray lyell and the storm - cool story behind ray lyell. his producer sold the storm name to gregg rollie who released the storm in 1991.

Thank you! There are a few CDs I own that are not on this website. I will try to submit them when I got a moment.

Hi Everyone, My name is Marcus and like everyone on here I also share the same passion like you for melodic AOR, hard rock and hair metal. My passion for this music extends across many albums, bands and songs into many obscure - limited exposure groups that I find in many places. I find there are many groups that have the talent, song writing and musicianship that whatever the cause of their limited exposure are always being discovered and shared by this fantastic community of music lovers. I have started my own podcast dedicated to promoting and talking about obscure groups you may have never heard of. It is called "Melodic AOR" on Spotify, itunes, iheartradio and amazon music. If you are interested, take a listen! Take care!
