The symphonic rock queen Lana Lane is releasing albums with a very
short interval. The only band that I know that is surpasses her in
that case is the Swedish progressive rock kings The Flower Kings
with all their members. Another thing they have in common is that
none of them is suffering in quality because of this. Long live
the kings and the queen!
This is her fourth studio album, but in-between them she has also
released a live album, an EP and a ballad collection with some new
material on. Beside that she has also done guest appearances
together with the progressive rock band Rocket Scientists. The
main part of the members of Rocket Scientists is also
participating as musicians on all of Lana Lane's albums.
As I was first impressed and later got used to the high quality of
Lana Lane's songs, her strong crystal clear voice and the melodic
memorable choruses, there was no surprise that this album followed
the same line. Beside Lana's passionate and beautiful voice, I
have to give credits to Erik Norlander, the great producer and
keyboard wizard. He used a lot of old keyboards on this album:
Mellotron, Mini-Moog and Hammond. This is advantageous to the
album as a whole. I must also mention Neil Citron, the guitar
virtuous and Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder etc.) the bass
maestro. The best tracks are "Let Heaven In", "Without You" and
"Through The Rain".
The cover art "Fever Two" is once again done by the Polish artist
Jacek Yerka, who has done the art work for all Lana's releases up
to date.
