This is a collection of previously unreleased songs recorded between 1983 and 1989. Overall it is a very strong collection with only the two tracks featuring vocalist Tommy Heart failing to get my attention. Personally I much prefer the soaring vocal talents of Michael Flexig – just check out the pomp rocker ‘On My Way’ with its harmony vocals and keys/guitar ‘wall of sound’. ‘Call Of The Heart’ is easily as good as any track on the band’s stunning debut album – one of those trademark Zeno rockers that build and build throughout the song. Flexig’s falsetto vocals can be off putting but boy can he belt out the tunes and with Zen Roth’s symphonic backing arrangements you really can’t go wrong.
Pretty damn essential then for fans of the band and unlike many other collections of unreleased tracks by other bands this one is worthy of release. But the best news is that there is a Zeno studio album in the works!

I agree, but the bad news are: Michael Flexig won't be on it
