Do yourself a favor and get the japanese version...The bonus track "Tonight" is the best track on that album. Other highlights are: "Shot down", "Hold on", "Back to You" & "Forgotten Heroes"...Personally I find "World on Fire" a bit better than "Unreleased". The songs are a bit more accessible if you understand what I mean...But like you, I had to listen to Tour de Force several times before the songs caught onto me...When I found myself singing the track "Hold On" out loud I knew they'd entered my hall of fame...Only bad thing 'bout them is the demo sound. Their style is fit for a great production.

 

Do you know about their debut entitled "Tour de Force"??? Just found it on www.rillen.dk.

It had a green cover with the band name on it...Unfortunately there was no track listing so I don't know if it's just another version of one of the other albums...

 

I found the other cds on: www.hangloose-records.com

 

Great site! Lotsa rarities there at reasonable prices...

 

 

 

I Can shed light on TOUR DE FORCE for you. WORLD ON FIRE and the "GREEN" album were collections of all the publishing demos the band did under a development deal with GEFFEN RECORDS. Come 91. Geffen went with another band(not telling who it was! LOL). Shame as TDF was a GREAT Live band that should have gotten a shot. Always packed the local clubs to the rafters and were treated like a national act in the clubs. The bands manager took said demos and got the band a japanese deal. Releasing WORLD ON FIRE and the "GREEN" album in Japam and the UK.

 

W.O.F was recorded back in 88-89. while the green album was done 90-91. The GREEN disc was released first, followed by WOF. Ironic...LOL. BTW, The Japan bonus track for WOF was actually an obsure Michael Bolton song. Possibly from his Black Jack days.

 

The UNRELEASED album we did in 2000 was Material that was "unreleased" demos that didnt make the two prior releases. Some of those demos span prior to WOF, and some were done after the green album. If you get the Japan verion of UNRELEASED you can get the very last song the band ever recorded in 2000. Its a acoustic reworked version of WATERCOLORS.

 

Update on where they all went.

 

Alex Salz: Keys, Guitars has mixed and mastered numerous Kivel releases over the years. Adriangale, Tna, Tour De Force, Goodbye Thrill, Ted Poley. He has also been nominated twice for a grammy!!

Billy Pauly: Drums went onto play in Straight Wired for several years and even played Woodstock 94.

 

Bill Frolich: Bass did a band with tdf Guitarist Chris for a year after TDF with Chris younger brother Alex. The band was called No Happy Faces. The band called it quits, and alex went onto acting has been in various things such as U571, two seasons of E.R. and was on the FX series Over There to name a few.

 

Chris Palladino: writes and produces songs for tv and movies.

 

Chali lead vocalist is now a well sought out Chef in his area.

 

Will there ever be a reunion? NEVER KNOW ;-)

 

We have discussed possibly putting out a LIVE DVD of the band. Which was filmed at the world famous RITZ in Ny from back in the day. Will keep you pposted. We can say this. There will NOT be a "new" album. The band has definatley moved on.
