Novak

This is the debut solo album from Mind’s Eye vocalist Andreas Novak, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Mind’s Eye prog metal. This is pure AOR/West coast, the same style of music a lot of the MTM bands play.

Listening to this album brings my thoughts back to the early 80’s - Journey, Toto & Boston. It’s not my kind of music, but I must admit, that it is well played & well produced.

I could swear, that some of the tracks were played on the radio in the beginning of the 80’s: “Another Woman” & “By Your Side”. There are guest appearances from Johan Niemann (Therion), Kristian Niemann (Therion) & Andreas Olson (Narnia) among others.

By the way Andres Novak sings backing vocals on Westlife’s Cd “World Of Our Own”?????????
I’m sure if you are into the above-mentioned bands, you should give this one a listen.

Recommended tracks: “By Your Side” & “Back To The Free World”
