Somewhere Lost in Time?
How about 1986 maybe?
Yes Danny Danzi is a throwback to the days when rock music was created
less for the sake of verbal abuse and more for the heartfelt emotion
that materialized under good intentions, making the most of life while
leaving the bitchfests to the then yet undiscovered crybabies.
Danzi's a jack-of-all-trades here finally catching a break ten years
in the wake of similarly melodic-minded acts as Cinderella, Britny
Fox and. oh yeah, now I hear it, Gary Moore!
That is before the scruffy Irishman got all soft on us following "After
the War". Yes there's a definite resemblance particularly where the
vocal tracks come in but Danzi's no slouch on the six-string either.
The songs on "Somewhere Lost in Time" do grow predictable after
a while and many can stand improvement. "Lost Without Your Love"
and "Love Me or Leave Me", this type of stuff is fairly one-dimensional.
Danzi's a true musician perhaps a little out of his element writing
such simplistic songs but does have the skill to go that extra mile
where someone else might satisfy themselves with that cyclic three
minute formula-stay tuned for the closing instrumental where he really
pops his cork!-but the one man show steps away from the rest of the
three chord, crimp and curl junkies.
"Somewhere Lost in Time" as a song is a defining moment for
the album characterized by a slowly building crescendo after a light
beginning. a dynamic power-ballad that shines among the others. A
solid rock album that embraces plenty of melodic punch and tight rhythms
with instrumental clarity, "Somewhere Lost in Time", is a well-intended
first effort molded from the better of the AOR rock and pop metal
the last decade had to offer who's biggest flaw might stem from the
fact it was created in the context of a good mood.
Released by Z Records.
