RADIOACTIVE is the project of multi-talented Swedish musician Tommy Denander. Long out of print and very sought after, the first 3 Radioactive albums were housed into a box-set entitled “Legacy”. The 3 albums,
“Ceremony Of Innocence”, “Yeah” & “Taken” have been re-mixed, re-mastered at 24 bits and includes new artwork plus 6 bonus tracks: the three original Japanese only bonus tracks and three previously unreleased songs.

With more than 30 years as a pro guitarist, songwriter and producer Tommy Denander is ranked as one of the finest guitar players in the world.
He has worked on more than 2300 albums including several US #1 singles, more than 50 Gold and Platinum movie soundtracks.

In 1991 he started his own project RADIOACTIVE, featuring multi-star collaborations.
Just take a look at gigantic list of big names who have graced these recordings; Jeff Porcaro, Mike Porcaro, Steve Porcaro, David Paich, David Foster, Bobby Kimball, Fergie Frederiksen, Joseph Williams, David Hungate, Yngwie Malmsteen, Neal Schon, Fee Waybill, Michael Thompson, Jason Scheff, Vince Dicola, Marcel Jacob, Tony Franklin, Vinnie Colaiuta, Michael Landau, Kelly Keagy, Alex Ligertwood, Abe Laboriel, Greg Phillinganes, Neil Stubenhaus, Randy Goodrum, Bruce Gaitsch, Jim Jidhed, Gary Barden, Robin Beck, James Christian, Andreas Carlsson, Phillip Bardowell, Bruce Kulick, and many, many more.

The debut album ‘Ceremony Of Innocence’ is the most star-studded one with Toto fans sure to love ‘Crimes Of Passion’ which sees two of the band’s vocalists Bobby Kimball and Joseph Williams in action, along with the rest of Toto bar Steve Lukather.
‘LA Movies’ is another Toto-esque tune helped by having Joseph Williams singing on it. Fergie Frederiksen keeps the Toto flag flying on the excellent title track, lots of lovely keys and guitar playing on this one. You even get a little funk added to the proceedings on the instrumental ‘Liquid’, with Greg Phillinganes stealing the limelight with his keyboard playing.
This album is very Toto sounding although the subsequent albums followed a more melodic rock direction as Tommy Denander spread his musical wings so to speak.

By the second album ‘Yeah’, drummer Pat Thearn appears on most of the songs with Tommy handling a lot of the other instruments. There are still a few top draw guest bass players though including Tony Franklin and the late Marcel Jacob of Talisman fame.
Steve Overland gives a polished performance as you’d expect on ‘Lies Feed On Lies’, which sounds like a latter day FM tune.

On third album ‘Taken’ Denander continue with a melodic rock feeling, at places edgy.
There’s some sterling performances from Gary Barden on the hook filled ‘Hit Her Where It Hurts’, and Last Autumn Dream’s Mikael Erlandsson gives a heartfelt vocal performance on the ballad ‘This I Promise You’.
The two bonus songs ‘The Darkness Inside’ and ‘Fell My Heart Again’ are a treat for Jeff Paris fans as he sings on both.
Just read the complete booklet to see who sing / play on each track…

Virtually out of print, the remaining copies are pretty expensive (over 100 Euros), however “Legacy” is a no-brainer purchase for any Melodic Rock & AOR fan.
The remixes / remaster on the 3 album into this box-set is excellent, and the music… top class.
