Anyone who was blessed and privileged to experience "Touching Glory" in this year's Cross Rhythms Festival will know that it's a special song - an anthemic rock opus which opens with Gary Moore style bluesy fretwork and builds and closes with marching band style drums. Now this marvellous song and three others make the CD debut for a band of AOR musicianaries fronted by Ian Stott ("Touching Glory"'s composer). It's an impressive debut. The songs are good, despite stereotyped AOR titles like "All Fired Up" and "Make Your Stand". The guitars crunch, the keyboards play some catchy riffs and this EP makes a good introduction to a good band.
