Rocktopia: Mark Alexander - 'Sanctuary' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Rob McKenzie: Mark Alexander has just released his first solo album entitled 'Sanctuary'. Famous as pianist / keyboard player for Meatloaf and Little Steven, Mark has stepped up to centre spot to take on vocals. Also, apart from additional guitar provided by Randy Flowers (Meatloaf), all instruments are played by Mark himself. To add to this autonomy, all songs are also written, produced and engineered by Mark. The album kicks off with 'The King' with its intro of foreboding strings and lavish layers. The main part of the song has a mid tempo pounding beat interlaced with Randy Flower's rock licks and a catchy hook and chorus. http://ping.fm/SMLkF
