KIP WINGER From The Moon To The Sun Frontiers (2008)
Kip Winger is a legend in the melodic rock scene and despite his busy commitments to a reunited Winger, the man has found time to make a new solo album - his first since 2000's 'Songs From The Ocean Floor.'
'From The Moon To The Sun' is what we've come to expect from such a great talent. Perhaps it's too mid-paced-songs-and-ballads for many rock fans but the heavier tunes are instantly catchy.
The opening track 'Every Story Told' is a wonderful acoustic led ballad. Winger's voice is still a joy to listen too and only proves that he is one of the scene's best singers.
The production is top class and perfectly enhances the enjoyable melodies that are on offer here. 'One Big Game' is a curious song that randomly changes tempo and has some nifty effects going on. It's not an instantly enjoyable album but most definitely a grower.
