Rocktopia: Melidian - 'Lost In The Wild' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Phil Ashcroft: As Dave Reynolds' excellent sleeve notes state, there are differing opinions of the one and only Melidian album from 1989. One school of thought believes it's an undiscovered classic that never got the recognition it deserved, whilst others believe it's overrated and got just about exactly the right amount of recognition it deserved. I'm afraid I'll have to plead that I belong to a third school who at the time thought it was a reasonably good album with a handful of decent songs, and despite the fact that this revisitation suggests I may have sold it a bit short, it's still a long way away from the classic status deserved by so many other Rock Candy releases since that fine label's inception in 2005. http://ping.fm/tas1s
