Info:

After a four year hiatus and a number of changes in band personnel (only Tom Riopelle and Richard Wieser remained from the original line-up) Fairchild returned with 'Shadowland' and their eyes firmly planted in the direction of US FM radio. With all the fuss that has been made about their pompous debut, Fairchild's second album 'Shadowland' tends to be somewhat overlooked, although it definitely merits attention from any discerning fan of melodic rock. This time around Fairchild adopted a bright and breezy FM radio rock approach with pop sensibilities, with much more memorable songs as a result. Indeed guitarist Tom Riopelle puts in a lively performance throughout, but don't expect any bone crunching riffs though. His guitarwork is there mainly to lend colour and backbone to the songs, rather than as a dominating presence.
