LANA LANE - BALLAD
COLLECTION
REVIEWS
"OK - I know what you're thinking - prog-rock energy subsiding into
the depths of wimpy songs, all very pretty and drippy but lacking any
real substance. Wrong again. This is a superlative collection of
songs, way more varied than you'd credit, with arrangements from
acoustic, electro-acoustic and electric, a richness of tone and
subtlety throughout that will have you sitting there eyes wide open
and an aching in your heart , as a collection of passionately felt
and delivered songs unfolds to all its breathtakingly beautiful
extent. There are new songs recorded in late '98, radically reworked
songs from the "Curious Goods" album with every track on the album
either a remix or completely new recording. The vocal delivery is
just superb while the band positively sizzle, with some of the most
impassioned playing amid huge, huge production and arrangements that
stretch far beyond the horizons. A dream album for anyone into AOR,
full-feeling prog and strong songs delivered with all the feeling and
love in the world."
