“Felony”
is translated as… felony in English, however, in Swiss, the
translation leads to “melody, power, rhythm” and all that stuff.
The band had appeared live, for the first time, in 1992. Mighty
Sascha Paeth (Rhapsody, Epica, Edguy, After Forever, Kamelot etc,
etc) is the producer here as well and I’ve got to confess that
this album might be the most pleasant surprise for this year.
First song – in order of appearance – of the album is “What
a felony” and we’re just standing here… admiring. Malmsteen,
Stratovarious, yet OST-also keyboards, sharp yet immensely melodic
guitars, amazing rhythm-section and a couple of GREat voices. Yes,
two voices. There’s also a guest female singer here, Andrea
Richner from Lunatica, she’s been invited by the band to perform,
regarding the “female vocals issue” of the album.
“Say goodbye” is a hit! Tremendous melody, which sticks to
you, exceptional and catchy chorus, I think we’ve found gold here.
“Welcome to cyberspace” is a wonderful melody, giving us a
somewhat Neil Young dimension, with a brilliant chorus.
“Disappointed” rules! A powerful track, you’re gonna fall in love
with it. Every single song in this album is a topic, a garden I
might add.
I guess that “Bravo” is in order here. For the bands’
patience, their enthusiasm, their way of thinking, their will to
spend money to do what they want “their way”. We’ve visited the
band, seen them rehearse and all, a relevant article will soon
follow.
Bjoern, Urs, Andy, Kusi, Tom, welcome to our
cyber-and-real-stereo.
