" I think it's a totally new kind of record for Apocalyptica especially because we have one singer on the whole album and I think it's making the whole album more solid. It's more of a band record compared to the album that we have had guest vocalists so I think it's more solid. " (Eicca Toppinen of Apocalyptica)

British hard rock veterans look back on better times to get a clearer picture of what’s to come. Third album on the comeback road from Jerusalem, who formed in the 70s and released one album before disbanding, finds original members Lynden Williams and Bob Cooke joined by prog luminaries Geoff Downes on keyboards and Nick D'Virgilio on drums. The danger in these situations is that the star turns become the main show, however on Cooler Than Antarctica, if anything, the opposite is true. Williams' vocals leading from the front (Cooke, credited as 'composer' doesn't actually appear on the album, as such), while it is guitarist Ollie Hannifan who drives most of the songs on show. Downes, alongside Ray Drury who also plays keys, instead provides a solid base from which everything else jumps off, while D'Virgilio, in the main, keeps it pretty simple (by his standards anyway…).

Freddie Mercury was a man of many talents and many different sides. The songs he wrote for and with Queen filled stadiums around the globe and have rightly gone down in history, but he also embarked on a solo career that took him from the clubs of Munich and New York to the great opera houses of the world.
He was the ultimate showman, but he kept his private life away from the prying eyes of the media; a larger than life rock star who loved disco, classical music and ballet. He was a restless spirit, a true chameleon who reveled in his own contradictions.
All the different sides of this iconic musician can be found on Freddie Mercury: Messenger Of The Gods – The Singles.

Mom's Apple Pie was an American ten-member rock band from Warren, Ohio. They were best known for their album cover and for the voice of lead singer Bob Fiorino.

You couldn't turn on the radio between the 60's thru the 90's without somewhere having that vile group "Chicago" rammed down your throat. Blood Sweat and Tears did the "jazz/horn" thing first, and did it infinitely better. But better than either of those was Lighthouse - and they even had a built in string section. "Thoughts Of Moving On" is one of my happiest musical memories of the early seventies.

I've waited years for this album. Finally this compilation of all this truly legendary band's recorded material is available to remind us what all the fuss was about. It is full of powerful, gloriously composed galloping heavy rock anthems, these songs never get old!
