Here's an engaging collection of British rock, some tracks currently unavailable anywhere else, to acknowledge the sterling work done by the annual Meltdown metal/alternative teach in. Crucifer and NSC offer two excellent cuts each off their recent Meltdown albums, while After The Fall wade in with two tracks, one crunching AOR opus and one effecting ballad demonstrating Ian Stott and friends can still deliver. Then there's two tracks from the album's seriously talented producer Paul May, one solo and one with his band A.N.D. Rounding the thing off is a bit of hot music from Jeff Sheetz, the American guitar virtuoso and a Meltdown regular. Recommended to all metal heads and guitar rock aficionados.
