NICK DOUGLAS played the bass on one of the greatest US metal classics of history, on'Ascend From The Cauldron' by DEADLY BLESSING. Subsequently, he hit the safe side of the business, since he has been the man for the heavy strings at DORO since 1990, has often done something with Chris Cafferty and released a solo work called'Through The Pane' in 2001. This year, Nick Douglas will be 50, and has a huge desire to bring out his most beautiful, self-written songs from the last 15 years on a new solo work. And indeed, in this time span, Mr. Douglas has collected eleven excellent songs, which presumably trigger a hit fireworks. Unless the listener displeases the material with all the variety, which could also be based on the long songwriting period. While the first solo work was still packed with a more elaborate collection of styles, this time it did not look like cabbage and turnips. Above all, each song can be decorated with a high hook factor, be it the heavy-opener'Come Alive' or the Pop Rocker'All On Me' and'My Lucky Day' stuck to New Breed. In'Before You Break', rock and singer Sharlotte Gibson almost flirks with New Age, while'Blue' is worn by Rebecca Gowarty. Apart from that, Nick Douglas makes his own, well-sounding body come into its own and has played most of the instruments supremely. The spirit of the BEATLES hovers often and particularly over 'Uncomfortable', while MR. BIG with'Didn't We Try' gladly again in the charts. Ultimately, "regenerations" is fed by many songs that are in the ear of the ear, but which only seem to be suitable for modern rockers for a persistent long-lasting sound. Congratulations, Mr. Douglas
