<title>Michael Thompson Band - Future Past</title>
<description> I tried this album at the time of release and thought it was quite weak and didn't feel for this kind of music at the moment. Now, I went back to it (Spotify) and listened to the title track.

Wow, this sounded great, I thought. I then went throught the whole album and the album really has potential....but Larry King's vocals started to annoy me on more than one song. My god, his voice is rough!

I then remembered Andrew featuring a review of &amp;quot;Future Past&amp;quot; many months ago, so I looked it up and.....spot on, Andrew!
I agree with every word in that review (apart from favourite songs).

There are some fantastic songs on the disc and with a slightly improved production and a different vocalist it could've been massive. Now, it's
just another case of &amp;quot;almost&amp;quot;.

I hope the rought voice on MTB isn't intentional.<br /><br />It's mostly the choruses that is ruined (well, almost) by his gravely approach on MTB, the verses sound fine for the most part.<br /><br /><br />// Figge]]></description>

A step backwards after the smooth Moon Calhoun. But funnily, his voice is far more appealing on the Soliel Moon. Strange.]]></description>

Agree with you Figge, it's rough indeed. Same reason I can't enjoy vocalists like Paul Shortino (too rough for my taste).]]></description>

I love the disc and wouldn't change a thing. I'd still love to hear Moon sing these songs though ;-)]]></description>
