STRANGEWAYS - Walk In The Fire [Rock Candy remaster] (2013)

Not only STRANGEWAYS was one of the best British AOR acts of all time,
their third record "Walk In The Fire" is a milestone in the genre.
Indeed, the band reached its peak with this crucial, awesome album.
Remastered by Rock Candy Records a couple years ago, the physical CD
sold out soon. Now the label is re-releasing it digitally while the 2nd
press arrives.

Recorded in Switzerland, "Walk In The Fire" was produced by band leader
Ian Stewart and John Lee, the engineer who had already worked on the
previous album, and mixed in England by Def Leppard associate Mike
Shipley.
This album is more upbeat and less moody than its predecessor, the sound
is bigger and Terry Brock had come out of his Steve Perry period and
was singing in the much earthier range that we now know him for. His
performance is indeed brilliant.

Yet again the songwriting was stellar, with bassist David Stewart
getting three co-writes along with his brother and Brock, and the
instrumentation was always interesting and never relied on the usual
clichés of much of its ilk.
Pointing out the best tracks is senseless as all of them are GEMS.
Tracks like “Where Are They Now”, “Love Lies Dying”, “Living In The
Danger Zone” or “Walk In The Fire” still remain among the finest of all
time in the AOR genre.

As usual, the Rock Candy treatment on "Walk In The Fire" is superb, but we have more; four bonus tracks.
The likeably upbeat “Jackie's Gone” is by far the best. It's a demo from
the album sessions with Terry Brock singing much deeper than usual,
while the other three all feature his replacement Charles Bowyer on
demos for a proposed fourth album.
Whilst Bowyer co-wrote them and his voice is pleasant enough, the
dynamic of the band had already changed. One of the songs is “Liberty”,
which of course appeared on their comeback album in 2010 (but this is
the original demo version).
The other two being “Big Tom” and “The Last Chance”, both really worth
hearing if somewhat lacking compared to what had gone before. But c'mon,
all "Walk In The Fire" is almost insuperable by any, even by
themselves.
It's a remarkable fact that the first three Strangeways albums don't
contain a single filler, and how many bands can you say that about? All
are must-haves, but "Walk In The Fire" is a pot of gold.
Essential.

Los discos en los que participo Terry Brock son lo mejores, son discos donde disfrutas de la voz. Son muy AOR, estilo FM, DARE y similares, de los mejor que ha dado el Reino Unido en éste estilo.
Pero nada tiene que ver con Bonfire, Pretty Maids...que yo les considero bandas de Hard Rock con Mélodia pero sin perder la identidad de darle un poco de caña, como Pink Cream 69, Shakra, bandas que clasificaria como Hard Rock and Heavy.
