Album:

Canadian AOR artist Stan Meissner released his first solo album, titled Dangerous Games, in 1984. Meissner, who sang and played guitar and keyboards on the album, had been writing songs for other A&M artists up to that point.Meissner’s debut is solidly in that early ‘80s AOR sound. Think Balance, Toto and maybe Boulevard. It’s a little on the soft side, and could use some hooks at times, but overall is a really smooth album. The vocals are really strong, and Meissner certainly knew how to write perfect mid-tempo AOR songs. “Heart of the Fire,” “I Need Your Love” and “Rebel Heart” are all good examples of that.Even though there are more than a few times where you wish the guy would just rock out a bit more, Dangerous Games is still a very solid debut, and a good example of the classic AOR sound. Fans of Toto, Balance, Touch, Richard Marx and Boulevard will want to check out Stan Meissner, and this is the perfect album to start with.Edition Notes: Yesterrock reissued Dangerous Games in 2010. Their version features digitally remastered audio (remastered by Meissner himself), as well as bonus demos and other recordings from the era. Meissner provided notes on each bonus track (as well as the album in general) in the booklet. It’s a nicely put-together reissue overall. Remastered for the first time and featuring 3 bonus tracks each.Appeared in 1984, "Dangerous Games" was Meissner's solo debut. With a combination of catchy melodies, killer choruses, hooks galore and pristine instrumentation, the disc is a winner. Not to mention the glossy, awesome production.You can't resist to songs like the "Can't Let Go", "Rebel Heart", "Hide The Night Away", "Heart Of The Fire" or the pure AOR of "No Turning Back".Meissner is a terrific ballad composer as well, check the heavenly "Walk Out Of My Life" and the atmospheric "Walking In The Dark".This reissue is different from the original A&M Records release.Many tracks were remixed by Meissner himself, as example "I Need Your Love" has an extra piece at the end, while "Heart Of The Fire" was replaced by its original pre-production version, because this one just sounded a lot better than the one that landed on the original LP.And there's 3 worthy bonus tracks originally discarded due to vinyl LP's lack of physical space: "You Make It All So Easy" featuring Toto's Jeff Porcaro on drums, "At The Water" and the excellent "Renegade".This "Dangerous Games" reissue was digitally remastered by George Graves at The Lacquer Channel in Toronto and sound excellent. Provided with 12-page booklet, containing all the lyrics and liner notes by Stan Meissner himself, re-issues can hardly come in a better way.
