We come directly to the sound of the record. This is not good and can not compete with top productions of recent years. But soooo bad as the sound made by some here, he is not well.
Let. To the songs themselves For me, the top piece is missing. A `out` Lights,` Lost horizons` or `Attack of the mad axeman` can not be determined. All the pieces have the same quality in approximately. I guess, from this record will be built no classic, which Michael will play in years.
Nevertheless, some nice songs are included. For example, `` and City lights` Competition`. `Summerdays` really begins not good, but then builds to a really beautiful ballad.
So if you accepts compromise on sound and the pieces themselves, remains a pretty decent album, but it can not compete with the first 3 solo albums from Michael. The master himself can guitar default but fully convince. Each of his solos is great, period.
Whether you now Don Airey (Deep Purple) would have needed for the little keyboards, I leave time to be seen. 3 stars with the tendency to 4 stars are represented. You can buy "In The Midst Of Beauty", but you do not.
