"This a somewhat mysterious album by Gary.It was released originally only in Japan and, altough the release date is often mentioned as being 1984, I think that 1984 was the year when it was released in England, because I think it was recorded before talbuns like CORRIDORS OF POWER (1982) and VICTIMS OF THE FUTURE (1983).AS for the album, it has Gary playin his fiercest solos ever, great skill, great technic, great feeling, THe guy is a monster guitarrist, underappreciated in the United States."

Great hard rock guitar!!!!

"If you are a fan of Gary's early rock days or a guitar player,this is a must have CD.There are some awesome guitar licks to be learned and studied here.The vocals are done for the most part by Charlie Huhn,you may remember him from Ted Nugent's band during the weekend warrior,state of shock and scream dream albums.Is easy to see how much better he was than Ted,guitar playing,and especially singing.Poor Charlie was too good for his own good and ol'Ted gave him the axe.Thats when he did this album with Gary-and man can this guy sing!!Tommy Aldridge was playing the drums for Gary for awhile and gives an excellent performance on this CD and on live recordings from this same time period.The CD sounds alot better than the record I first got and wore the grooves out of.If you are a Gary Moore fan,new or old,this is a great example of his early hard rock material.Gary does an excellent version of the Animals tune-Don't let me be misunderstood.I only give it a four out of five rating because like most of Gary's early rock material,the songs are a liitle weak,but the guitar playing makes up for it.Its always worth waiting for the solo.Fewer guitarists play with more passion and feeling.I would like to see Gary get rid of the blues for awhile and make another hard rock CD like this.****a newly re-mastered disc is due out soon-I stand by my original comments-whether you find an old album,CD or buy the new re-mastered disc-it simply hard rock music and guitar at its best****"
