DANTE FOX - Lost Man's Ground (2012)

*

It took Bristish AOR Melodic Rockers DANTE FOX seven years to come up with their third album 'Under The Seven Skies' (2007) and we had to wait another 5 years for this brand-new effort “Lost Man’s Ground”.
Five years may seem a long period, but as long as the quality is there, you can’t complain. And quality is indeed written all over this new album, which has just been released independently by the band at the recent Firefest and will available from all good CD outlets.

Tim Manford and Sue Willetts have come up with their best songs so far and listening to the end result, you can almost feel the pleasure they must have had recording the new stuff.
Both musicians sound quite mature and they got help from great names such as Eric Ragno on keys and rising star Alessandro Del Vecchio on harmony and backing vocals.
This material takes the band back to their more pure style of melodious AOR packed with terrific harmonies. Very good tracks such as "Who Stole The Innocence" which has a great melodic line, the true AOR bliss of "Secrets" or the soaring melodic rocker "I Can't Sleep".

“Lost Man’s Ground” is a great AOR Melodic Rock CD in the classic British style. Only 8 tracks, but among them are no fillers, all are really solid, brilliant songs in this genre.
This much anticipated release sees the band revisiting the pure AOR of their nineties debut album but with a superior production by Mark Stuart and Sheena Shear of M2 Studio (Magnum). Despite of being released by themselves, the sound is top notch.
One of my favorite Female Fronted AOR/MR releases of the year for sure.
Highly Recommended.
