Bio:
Last Autumn's Dream is a hard rock band formed in 2002 by vocalist and keyboardist Mikael Erlandsson from Sweden and guitarist Andy Malecek from the German hard rock band Fair Warning.When searching for other band members, they asked bassist John Levén, drummer Ian Haugland and keyboardist Mic Michaeli, all from the band Europe, if they were interested to be part of this new musical project and since that moment the band began working on their self-titled debut album, which was released in 2003.By the time they began working on their second album, II, Europe had reunited, and Last Autumn's Dream had to replace Levén, Haugland and Michaeli with Marcel Jacob (Talisman), Jamie Borger (Talisman, Treat) and Thomas Lassar (Crystal Blue), respectively. II was released in 2005.Thomas Lassar left the band after II, paring the band down to a quartet. The band then released the albums Winter in Paradise in 2006 and Saturn Skyline in 2007.On June 6, 2007, the band released their first greatest hits album, Impressions: The Very Best of LAD, an exclusive released for the Japanese market. The band performed at the United Forces of Rock festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany on September 30, 2007 alongside Joe Lynn Turner, Stan Bush, White Wolf, Soul Doctor, Human Zoo and Danger Danger.The band released their fifth studio album, Hunting Shadows in Japan on February 22, 2008 as well as the live album Live in Germany 2007.The sixth album release from Last Autumn's Dream is called Dreamcatcher was released for Japan on December 24, 2008 and was out in Europe on January 26, 2009.On July 21, 2009, Marcel Jacob committed suicide. He was 45 years old.Nalle Påhlsson was brought in as his replacement.The band's seventh and eighth albums, A Touch of Heaven and Yes, were both released in 2010.On December 14, 2011, the band released for Japan market their ninth studio album called Nine Lives. In this recording were included The Last to know with Jeff Scott Soto, Angel Eyes, a duet with Jenny Redenkvist and Waited A Long Time as Bonus Track.
Album:
Japan edition with bonus track "Rebel Rouser".As usual, Swedes LAST AUTUMN’S DREAM release their new albums first in Asia, around Christmas time.That’s the case again with the band’s tenth CD “Ten Tangerine Tales”, which will be available in Europe on January 25, 2013.Singer and songwriter Mikael Erlandsson is a real workaholic. Recently he released an album with his new band ‘Lover Under Cover’ and was also involved in some other productions where he was doing guest vocals (for example Sapphire Eyes).Hi has written the half of the songs this time with the help of outside songwriters, while the rest were penned by talented drummer Jamie Borger.As on the previous album, “Ten Tangerine Tales” shows Last Autumn’s Dream definitely turned Melodic Rock.There’s a couple of Melodic Hard tracks like the excellent “New York Rain” (one of the highlights) and “It’s Magic”, but the rest of the material is pure Scandi Melodic oriented.Really solid tracks in “Pickin’ Up The Pieces”, “Lie To My Heart”, the soaring “My Final Love Song” and the AOR ballad “When I Found You” (love this one).They are looking fo some new sonic explorations adding cellos in “Preludium – The Man I Used To Be”, but just for the embellishment of the arrangements, as this is a pure melodious track.Last Autumn’s Dream never fails delivering quality Melodic Rock, and “Ten Tangerine Tales” is not the exception.This band knows how to write pleasant melodies and execute them with class and top musicianship. Production is warm and brilliant, even better than the in precedent album.If you can’t wait for the Euro release, I recommend you to pick the Korean version than the Japanese because is cheaper and also includes the exclusive Asian bonus track “Rebel Rouser”, a good The Sweet cover song.“Ten Tangerine Tales” = Satisfaction Guaranteed.
