Time Signature
Fallen angel...

Genre: NWoBHM

This release is really a gem. I think that the two tracks on this single are actually very good.

"Fallen Angel" is a midtempo, almost mellow, track riddled by keyboards and synthesizer effects spiced up by yes-like vocal harmonies. The song itself, while seemingly inspired by progressive rock, reminds me of the style of acts like Toto or Boston, although there are certain elements that also make me think of 80s prog rock band Zaragon.

"Hypnotizing You" is a groovy hard rock peace, which revolves around a funky blues-derived guitar riff, which, while not really original, is catchy as hell, and the listener can't help just rocking along. I also like the bluesy guitar licks on this track.

I think this release, if you can find it, will appeal to you if you are an NWoBHM aficionado, or if you are into the likes of Boston or Toto, or if you like 80s prog rock.
