heavyharmonies Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 NOW AVAILABLE FROM RETROSPECT RECORDS: SILENT RAGE - Shattered Hearts +1 (1988) -- Hailing from Los Angeles , this coveted debut release from Silent Rage produced by Paul Sabu showcased a classy slab of 80s Melodic Hard Rock / AOR that won fans over worldwide. Finally digitally remastered and including a brand new bonus track "Soul Survivor" (also produced by Paul Sabu) , this re-release makes all other versions of this disc obsolete. The band's sophomore release 'Don't Touch Me There' is soon to follow as well as some high-profile live dates... FOXX self-titled (1990) + Stick It Out (1991) - Two releases from this excellent early 90s Melodic Metal/Hard Rock act that featured none other than Bassist Allen McKenzie before he joined FIREHOUSE. BRIAN JACK - Promise Of Love (1992) - Child's Play vocalist's killer melodic collaboration with Bootcamp's Tim Camp is now available exclusively thru Retrospect - we have the remaining original issued CD's for sale in limited quantity! Awesome melodic rock/AOR that won't be so hard to track down anymore!! ORPHANN - Don't Say No (1980) -- Here it is! "Don't Say No" from ORPHANN is on CD for the first time in all its digitally remastered glory! This album topped many vinyl collectors want lists worldwide for years! This classic melodic rock music with a slight pomp rock flair has been touted by many as being "timeless" - and their certainly seems to be a particular freshness in this material which would make many believe this could have been recorded yesterday! From the smooth vocal harmonies, the rockin' hooks, to the vibrant musicianship as well as the wave on wave of tasty driving percussion and guitar breaks - this is simply one of those albums that draws you in more and more upon each listen. If you haven't heard of ORPHANN, check out the sound samples and preview what you have been missing - and then acquire this essential addition to your melodic rock collection! DOUBLETAKE – So Many Roads (1993) – One of the rarest and sought after CD’s on the planet gets a much-deserved re-issue by Retrospect! This Texas-based Melodic Hard Rock / AOR band were criminally overlooked by the majors due to the musical climate – but no doubt would have been huge in 1990. KRANK Hideous (1986) - Another cult Metal classic gets the official re-issue treatment it deserves. Philadelphia-based KRANK have been around for over 20 years and this album will appeal to fans of in-your-face Metal like WASP and Twisted Sister. THE JACKS 'In Danger' (1986) - Great Mid-west Melodic Rock / AOR sees daylight on cd for the first time. From the pure AOR of 'Love's in Danger' , the Hi-Tech stylings of 'Maria' to the monster ballad 'Que Linda' , fans and collectors of 80s AOR will quickly find a place in their collection for The Jacks. ANGELLIC RAGE 'Generation Enraged' (1988-1992) -- 14 Tracks of hi-powered Melodic Metal - A.R. is one of Colorado's best kept secrets and certainly one of the premier acts to emerge from Denver. With soaring vocals and top-notch musicianship this is 'thinking-man's metal' of the highest caliber. Queensryche, Fates Warning, Hittman, Heir Apparent fans take note! CRISS SEXX 'Bastard Barbie' (2003) - Our first South American artist - Brazilian-born Criss Sexx unleashes his glam/sleaze opus for the first time on cd and it's quite a corker! Definitely one for the merchants of sleaze! THICK RICHARD 'Back On Track' (1985-1988) - Another diamond in the rough - facetiously named Thick Richard hails from California and joins our ranks as a high quality Melodic Hard Rock act obviously influenced by Hard Rock legends Y & T.
