This british band was formed in 1981 and released 2 albums and a mini-album. This is the 2nd album. They toured as opening act to Terraplane (later known as Thunder), Rock Goddess and Pet Hate. Maineeaxe disbanded in 1985. This album is kind of charming New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Not the best production but full of life and wanna-make-it-big attitude. Good strong singing and okey songs. The guitarsound is very annoying though.

Mick Adamson released an album in 1969 with the band Bulldog Breed. It is considered a minor psyche-rock classic in the Pink Floyd/Hawkwind tradition.

Fair Warning is a German hard rock band founded in 1991 by former V2 vocalist Tommy Heart and former Zeno bassist Ule W. Ritgen. The music can be described as melodic hardrock in the vein of AOR. There's a lot of melody on the album but also some good guitarplaying. The songs are okey but there's always something missing to make it to the next level. The production on "4" is also quite flat. There should have been moore bass!

Andy Malecek left the band in 2000 and founded Last Autumn's Dream together with 3 former members of Europe and has released 7 albums with that band.

1)Heart on the run (7,5) Not just melodic hardrock but an powerful and epic qualitysong.

2)Through the fire (7,5)

3)Break free (6,5)

4)Forever (7,0)

5)Tell me I'm wrong (7,5) A nice and pompous ballad.

6)Dream (5,0)

7)I fight (7,0)

8)Time will tell (7,0) If it hadn't been for the repetitive chorus this would have been a pretty good song.

9)Eyes of love (7,0)

10)Find my way (7,0)

11)Night falls (6,0) A ballad.

12)Wait (7,0) Good melody and a powerful song.

13)For the young (4,0) Sounds like Scottish folkmusic with bagipes and choir. But it's not good at all.

This AOR-band featuring Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham's son Jason, that didn't make much noise of themselfs during their period of trying to reach the rock/hardrockaudience of the 1980's. They actually got an 1,2 million dollar-deal to record this album but it never made any impact. They opened for The Firm on tour but when Jason quit the band it was all over.

1)Are we playing with fire? (6,5) An okey midtempo soft hardrocksong. Too repetitive refrain though.

2)Make it tonight (5,5) A little too boring song. Nothing happens.

3)Only love (7,0) What I do like about this record is that they don't try to be hard or overdo things. They keep it very simple and focus on making good songs instead. They almost make it. This song has a good riff and melody.

4)It's in you eyes (5,5) Kind of a ballad. Saxsolo...

5)Waiting for your love (5,0)

6)Livin' on a knife edge (7,0) Good refrain and guitarsolo in this powerful song.

7)For all we know (6,0) The problem with songs like this is that they just pass without notice. I immediately

forget what I've been listening to.

8)Dont't run away (6,0)

9)Take a chance (6,5)

10)Goodbye don't mean forever (6,0)
