(AOR) VFX - VFX - 1988, MP3, 192 kbps

Fronted by pre Mpire, and current Talon vocalist Michael O'mara, VFX were a fantastic band with the ability to mix different styles, ranging from Aor right through to Pomp and hard rock... with ease.Their s/t mini/cd is my particular favourite, with its BLVD like, expansive Aor sound. "The Next Step" has more guitar crunch, and some might say, even has elements of prog. Never quite straight forward, individualistic tunes, that assault you from different angles, are what VFX are all about, with the emphasis allways on melody and songwriting. Thoroughly recommended. Rumour has it a new album is being worked on for 2004.
Scott Wilson also has a couple of solo cds: "Cruel World" and "Kaleidoscopes End", all released on Metalogic.
