Uplifting Light Rock, Great CD

"Yet Again John Payne turns in a powerful & uplifting vocal performance,
From The catchy opening hook of "Awake" to the downright spiritual "Ready To Go Home" a CD any "ASIA" fan can enjoy,
However if your expecting something along the lines of "Heat of the Moment"
you may want to look some where else.
Aura hearkens back to the great days of 70's & 80's FM rock like The Alan Parsons Project, TOTO, & Traffic. A great CD when you need to unwind & still get a groove on at the same time

A Record Everyone Must Have!

"Hello everybody. As a musician (piano/drums) and home studio owner I cant tell that this CD is musically amazing. The compression used for the drums is totally late 90's and sounds perfect. Great on hi-fi equipment. Keybord and rythm sequences provide a 80's feel to me but totally up to date. You will enjoy this record from top to bottom. Includes Vinnie Colaiuta and Simon Phillips drummers. John Payne's voice is a pleasure to listen to. "Ready to come home" highly emotive. Hope you enjoy this great piece of work too!
Bonus CD is a live perform I really won't listen again..."
