Life can have some surprising
twists. Kurt Vereecke, the brain behind
Frozen Rain, played years ago in several bands, but by
a twist of fate, he began to write songs for children. His great
dream however was to record a good AOR album in the style of big
names like Toto, Journey,
Foreigner and Survivor. Kurt collected
a great number of known and lesser known musicians behind him and
is now ready to present his project to humankind. "Frozen Rain"
contains 12 tracks that excel in consistency and a high-level. The
references to his favourite bands like The Storm,
Giant, Harlan Cage, Fair
Warning, Heartland, and many others are
always present. To heighten the level Kurt opted for a mix of experience
and new talent. That's why you can find on this album, in addition
to people like Tommy Denander, Daniel Flores
and Steve Newman, some less-known
names as Johan Waem and Dirk Cauwels.
People who like the bands above will certainly aprreciate songs
like 'Waiting for you', 'Music
keeps me alive', 'Park Cafe'
and 'Little Angel'.
This is without any doubt one of the best Belgian AOR records ever
made.
