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.

THE LAW - S/t (Released: 1991, Atlantic Records)

THE LAW was a Rock-AOR project by Paul Rodger and Kenney Jones (The Who, Small Faces) back in 1991. This album contains the original recording of Miss You In A Heartbeat writen by Phil Collen and lately re-recorded by DEF LEPPARD, other songwriters involved were Marc Mangold, Jim Vallance, Bryan Adams...
The only single released was Lying Down The Law reaching # 1 AOR charts. The album only reached USA # 126 but despite dissapointing sales a second album was recorded though it was never released.
This album is a Masterpice with gems as Anything For You or Come Save Me (Julianne)... 24 carat AOR.
