Jez Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 'Blind Faith' was an excellent slice of AOR, so will definitely be giving this one a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 If you like your more Trad.late 80's/early 90's AOR/MR, then this is the disc for you. If you liked the debut 'Blind Faith' then you're gonna love this.. absolutely top notch stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysam Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I was unaware they recorded a follow up, buried treasures indeed, I enjoyed Blind Faith and the samples for this one sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm somewhat disappointed. It's a little boring. Lacks anything as catchy as Blind Faith. What a great voice though. Not sure that guy's (Alan King) done anything else. Can't easily find things on the interwebby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 That's sounding good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I played this back to back with 'Blind Faith' yesterday and whilst it isn't as good, there are some cool tunes on it. You can tell it was recorded at different times by the varying production on it, with the 'older' sounding tunes, which are more akin to the debut, being the best ones on show. It maybe lacks the one killer track and the consistency that the first one had, but it's pretty good for an unreleased album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
