Swedish duo Kristoffer Lagerstrom (vocals/keys) and Mikael Klevengard (guitars/keys) have combined to produce this debut album and one stepped in the classic sounds of AOR/melodic rock bands in particular Europe, Skagarak and Saga.

Highlights include opener 'Bring Me In' with a great keyboard run and swirling guitars, the ballad 'Fading' and the rock filled guitars on 'Outside'. Excellent production throughout which a real must on albums like this.

The album does dip midway through with a few too many mid-tempo numbers but overall it is a solid melodic rock album and one for fans of 80's Europe, Saga and Scandinavian AOR/melodic rock.

***½
