THE LONE Melidian album 'Lost In The Wild', originally released on CBS in 1989, was truly a peach of an album, yet it was one of those sadly lost amidst the throng of half baked records desperately vying for a slice of a market that was about to be engulfed by back-to-basics grunge and irritating college rock. Perhaps Melidian's educated musical roots were to blame - their sound was a triumphant mix of pompish keyboard driven AOR and muscular riffs, laced with razor sharp guitar riffs. Imagine a satisfying combination of Survivor, Bad English and Giant for an accurate approximation of their sound and you'll be half way to paradise. Time now to reappraise a most satisfying, yet largely unheralded, album from this little known New York City five piece. 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 4,000 word essay about the making of the album, interview with band members additional previously unseen photos spread out over a 12 page full colour booklet.
