- 'Tygers Of Pan Tang' Album
Review
Rating:
20 / 20
Tackle a chronicle of a band
like TYGERS OF PAN TANG, it's a
bit like starting to climb the
Himalayas... Necessarily, it's
going to take very long.
And as I do not wish you to do
too many pages on this new album
(which is enough in itself !), I
invite you to :
1/ immerse Yourself in the
golden years (late 70' to today
for a good number of groups...in
the great adventure of the New
Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM
for the uninitiated !)
2/ Enjoy the career of this
fantastic group that has seen
many great musicians in its
midst, of which a certain John
SYKES ! The latter seems to have
participated in early 80 at the
favorite period of the purists !
Like a PRAYING MANTIS, on her
latest album, found The singer
who had to give back the shiny
chrome (the well-named John
CUIJPERS), TYGERS OF PAN TANG is
assistant services since 2004 to
a singer quite exceptional,
Jacopo THIRD.
This last makes me think by the
time Mark RANKIN of GUN with
treble and, therefore, octaves
and more ! Awesome !
Obvious to my ears on the
"cover" frankly successful I've
Got The Music In Me, as the era
of Motown, 1974, interpreted
divinely at the time by Kiki DEE
and written by Bias BOSHEL !!!
I don't know if there are other
"covers" on this album, the
organic label does not even talk
about the latter... On the other
hand, all publications may be of
interest to fans of the fringe,
AC/DC to GUNS n'roses, passing
by AEROSMITH etc, and I want to
say to all that is best in the
melodic Hard Rock since the
beginning of the style !
The album is so very varied and
Robb WEIR, the only survivor of
the training original has found
an amazing inspiration, helped
by Micky CRYSTAL ! The work is
outstanding, with a rhythm
section perfect, Gav GRAY-bass
Craig ELLIS-drums & percussion.
If the group leads us in the
meanders delicious melodic Hard
Rock, (hard not to think of the
best of AEROSMITH on Glad Rags),
the group remembers its origins,
and balance a few titles limits
Heavy and therefore more
powerful, listen to, for
example, Never Give In !!!
The album is superbly balanced,
between time powerful and more
quiet, as with the ballad, The
Reason Why, very NWOBHM !
I also love Praying For A
Miracle which has a chorus very
addictive !
I will see if I can glean other
information upon receipt of the
cd, in any case Mighty Music,
the new label of the group has
allowed Soren ANDERSEN (Glenn
HUGHES, Mike TRAMP) to mix
divinely to the album and Hary
HESS (HAREM SCAREM) to offer a
"mastering" with a huge sound
!!!
Here it is, this album is heavy,
melodic, exciting, nervous
desire, and addictive !
The slap !
