Bio:

CAPTIVE HEART was a pure American AOR Melodic Rock band from Chicago, one of the many that arrived too late into the scene but deserved the stardom.They recorded this bunch of songs in 1991-92 to land a U.S. deal, but you already know what happened after those years.Luckily a German label released the tapes in 1996 as "Home Of The Brave", and what an impressive material it is.The fact that their sound is supposed to be a mixture of Van Halen, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan, as it is called in the label info, may not be quite understandable to me, because I feel myself with titles like 'Outlaw', 'Shattered Dreams', 'Helpless' or On the one hand, 'Can't Stop' is more reminiscent of classic eighties plush goods à la Steel Breeze or Boulevard and, on the other hand, of acts like Surgin or Prophet (from 'Cycles Of The Moon'), the latter being primarily reminiscent of this Russell Arcara Tone can be attributed to that CAPTIVE HEART singer Rick Tratar also cultivates for a long time. Either way - this prelude produced by Survivors Jim Pieterik is definitely recommended.

Album:

Captive Heart strongly reminds me Signal (Mark Free's band) and Survivor on some compositional structures. Rick Tratar is a really good, second-to-none singer, accompanied by very talented musicians.We have classic sounding AOR wonders such as "Outlaw", the awesome "It's Too Late" or the smouldering "Over You Over Me".Title track "Home Of The Brave" has that lovable pulsating midtempo we all love (hints of House Of Lords), while "Can't Stop" is a soaring melodic rocker plenty of harmony vocal layers.On the softer side "Shattered Dreams" is really American with its anthemic refrain, the soulful "Just One Touch" fits in the good power ballad mould, and "´Til The End" is a compelling slow acoustic number."Home Of The Brave" is rarely seen in many AOR / MR favorite's list, but it largely deserves that honor.I remember reading some members of Captive Heart stating this recording as pre-production demos, something that you won't notice at all. I can't imagine what they would have been able to deliver with a full-fledged production budget.This is classic stuff really well composed and performed, with all the magic mojo from the golden years of the genre.
