Kaleidoscope (CD)
This is Helloween guitarist Roland Grapow's second solo album. His first 'The Four Seasons Of Life' was a respectable Neo-Classical release that contained a lot of guitar work. This release is a bit more song orientated, and what a band Roland has to back him up!! Basically this is Yngwie's 'Magnum Opus' band minus the Maestro himself and Mats Olausson. Yes that's right Mike Vescera lends his golden lungs and the ace rhythm section of Barry Sparks and Mike Terrana create a powerhouse of solid backing throughout. Add to this the keyboard expertise of Ferdy Doernberg and you have a bit of a supergroup happening; even Jens Johannson throws in his fleeting fingers on a couple of tracks. The production is also very different to 'Four Seasons' having more air, clarity and ambience. The signs are looking good!
