Rocktopia: Moritz - 'Undivided' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Phil Ashcroft: Moritz is a name that I thought would be a footnote in the 80s UK AOR scene, half remembered from the pages of Kerrang! and Derek Oliver's 'Wimpwire' column without even leaving the legacy of a proper album. The memories came flooding back when good friend and Powerplay writer Rob Evans handed me a copy of their retrospective 'City Streets' CD, an eight track album comprised half of demos along with their 1988 'Shadows Of A Dream' EP. After the nucleus of the original band regrouped with a female singer to form If Only for their excellent 'No Bed Of Roses' album and leader Greg Hart had another shot with the AOR trio GTS, 2010 sees a majority of Moritz reunited for a new album with Hart joined by fellow guitarist Mike Nolan, keyboardist Andy Stewart, bassist Ian Edwards and singer Pete Scallan, drummer Mick Neaves being the only completely new name. http://www.rockt!
