Soleil Moon is the best of the lot, just a great album.
Looking forward to Night Ranger, they've done acoustic stuff before and it's always been good.
Still not sure about Jimi Jamison. Some of it sounds like Survivor, which in turn sounds tailor made for Jimi, as i've been told. But some of them, if you remove the voice you could put anyones voice on it and it'd fit on any project. The opening track you can hear more of Erik than Jimi...
However, the one i'm most unsure about is unfortunately Issa. I loved her last 2 albums, and I love the Vega boys and wouldn't wanna offend the Martin brothers.
But the few songs I heard just don't sound that great :-( Obviously these are only snippets on my shitty laptop speakers, so i'll be buying all of the albums and making my mind up properly from them... so fingers crossed the samples are just a bit misleading.
