Info:
Last Autumn's Dream is the interesting combination of Swedish AOR singer Mikael Erlandsson with former Fair Warning guitarist Andy Malecek. Providing the backbone of the band and this album is the popular session trio of Ian Haughland, Mic Micaeli and John Levin – all of Europe fame.
It was the idea of Erlandsson's Japanese label that he record a harder rock album and Frontiers Records have smartly picked this up for Europe.
LAD is an overall solid album – even better being that it's a debut. It's nice to see Malecek back in business after his other Fair Warning buddies surfaced in Dreamtide.
Erlandsson is a classy singer who is capable of adapting to different situations. His earlier work was pure Westcoast/AOR, while earlier this year he delivered a wonderful album of modern pop/AOR. His voice is ideally suited for what Last Autumn's Dream is all about.
As expected the album mixes influences from all those involved, with some of Erlandsson's fine melodic flare – especially in the delivery of his vocals – evident, as is some of the guitar driven pomp of Fair Warning and the power rhythm of Europe.
Essentially, LAD is a collection of powerful European styled melodic hard rock tunes with a strong melodic base
