First off, "Dream Come True" is maybe the most beautiful ballad ever. Why
Lanni's lesser "Lost in You," which he recorded with
Sheriff, came back from the dead instead of this pearl seems just plain unfair. Otherwise, this collection plays even more polished than
Frozen Ghost's still-quirky debut, whereupon the Canadian duo established a superior level of professionalism and skill that works against the tunes this time around. Except for the Fixx-like first single, "Round and Round," there exists nothing simple about any of these songs.
Nice Place to Visit almost echoes a new age atmosphere -- i.e., dealing with outer (the memorable "Mother Nature") and inner ("Perfect World") solace. It's hard to recommend this CD to scratch any particular musical itch, but "Dream Come True" on a mixed tape could make anybody fall in love with you. ~ Doug Stone
