Rocktopia: Place Vendome - 'Streets Of Fire' - CD Review

I was fully expecting Balance to be far and away the best release from the ever more impressive Frontiers stable this month; yet much as the songs are growing on me more and more with each new listen (which I have to confess, is quite a lot), because of the rather dull production, Place Vendome's sophomore effort 'Streets Of Fire' has just nipped in and pipped them at the post! Conceived as a way of tempting former Helloween vocalist Michael Kiske back into the fold after years spent in the rock ‘n roll wilderness, the Dennis Ward produced 'Place Vendome' was a bit of a revelation. http://ping.fm/I3MiL
