MYSTIC GAME - S/t (Released: 1995, MMRecords, Brunette Japan)
This ain't a fantastic album but it's worth taking a listening for some good tunes and for a great guitar work. Weakest part in this album are vocals by Haydon Palmer, this guy is not a bad singer but is a clone of Axl Rose... and we don't like copies.
This band originally was from USA but the idea came from the spanish guitarrist Carlos Creator that even produced the album. Despite some weak cuts, sound is quite good and production is ok.
Two highlights from this album are the only single released That's For Sure and Low... special attention to guitar work all over the album, is awesome.
