TEN – Babylon +1 [Japan ‘TEN Essential Remaster Series’ SHM-CD including exclusive song] (2016)
Fronted by the unique Gary Hughes, Britain ’90s leading melodic hard rock / AOR band TEN celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015. As the first press of their albums was difficult to obtain due to the long-term discontinuation, Japanese label Avalon / Victor Entertainment created this ‘TEN Essential Remaster Series‘, a SHM-CD cardboard sleeve reissue of TEN’s best albums.
And to make the band’s 20th anniversary reissues more special, Hughes provided material from his archives and one unreleased song is added to each album. These unreleased songs are exclusive to this ‘TEN Essential Remaster Series’ not to be found into any other release.
“Babylon” marked TEN entering into the new Millennium; it’s an album with futuristic concept in the lyrics but musically faithful to the band’s melodic hard rock / AOR sound. It’s one of their best without a doubt.
