While in July this year the successor "Nowhere To Hide" was put on the shelves of the stores in Japan (will be released in September in Germany also! - TMS!), PRAYING MANTIS have finally made a deal in their home country, too. These days their album from 1998 "Forever In Time" was released, which was, until then, only available as an expensive import from Japan. However, "Forever In Time" is the best PM album ever in their history and it's not only me who likes it! (me too!! - TMS), even better than their well known classic "Time Tells No Lies", because everything sounds modern and more transparent without denying their roots just a second! AOR hits "en masse", great melodies - not only the refrains, also concerning keyboards and guitars the English band has ripped fantastic melodies out of their hips (when you think of the opener "Wasted Years", the following "The Messiah", or, to explain it briefly: the rest of the album)! - "Forever In Time" is an album I will like to listen to even in a few years.

Simply the production could have been more transparent and breezy, but Chris Tsangarides isn't the youngest anymore ;) Buy and wallow!
