In fact, one of the ballads on the disc is an incredibly emotional piece that is one of the best cuts on the CD. | ” |

Strong melodies with acoustic patterns and impressive vocals with undiminished power – the best thing John Lawton has been involved with ever since Heep’s glory and his lately announced career peak with the same author’s ‘The Power of Mind’ album from 2012. | ” |
