Notes: Mediocre melodic rock from this Scandinavian band who were formed
to play a set of unreleased songs collected by MTM manager Magnus Soderkvist.
Three of those were co-written by Sherwood: "Tell Me You're Mine" (described
by Söderström as "Powerful AOR track with a rhythmic thing going
on that I like."), "Night After Night" ("Quite a heavy tune this one. Riff
made of pure lead. Johan pounding the poor drums with the thickest drumsticks
he could find. Pontus hitting the strings of his bass with a brick.") and
"Should have Done You Right" ("The ballad of the album. Good melody and
the form of the song is not that obvious which I think makes it more interesting.
Excellent vocals from Jan."). None are particularly notable. Sherwood's
co-writers are Jimmy Haun, who played on Union,
and Guy Allison of World Trade. As far as I know, they have never released
their own versions of these songs. (6) is a cover of the Starship song,
while John Wetton-collaborator Bob Marlette co-wrote a couple of the other
pieces. (HP, 7 Mar 03)
