Flying Colours, Second Nature. Album Review.

 

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

There is an adage that to have done well you passed with flying colours, the overall result was about as close to perfection that you could ever hope for without a team of University lecturers raising an eyebrow in your direction and asking for a re-count on the basis that nothing could be that good. To pass with flying colours sounds good, it reads well and it puts a song in your heart so loud that it drowns the sorrow of high expectation in your own life with magnificence normally reserved for trying to please loved ones and close friends.

Flying Colours, Live In Europe. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

With just one studio album to the super group’s name, to bring out a live C.D. might be considered slightly presumptuous, even possibly improper but then this is Flying Colours and when you have the outrageously good Mike Portnoy and Neal Morse of Transatlantic, Steve Morse, the beautiful resonating voice of Casey McPherson and Dave LaRue giving the audience at the wonderful venue of the 013 in Tilburg, then to be honest all you can do is sit down, and feel envious of those who made the trip to Holland and revel in the music coming through the speakers.
