320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

Around a month ago 0dayrox featured in exclusive the rare, collectible, self-titled sole album by Swedish AORsters SAHARA. Now Pride & Joy Records is reissuing the album for their Pride & Joy Music Classixx series, remastered by talented Harry Hess, numbered, and limited to 500 CD’s. Like all other reissues in the series, this CD will only be available at Pride & Joy web-shop while stock will last.

SAHARA musical style is class, elegant AOR from the pure Scandinavian school, sonically in the league of STREET TALK, BAD HABIT, Denander’s RADIOACTIVE, JOURNEY, etc, driven by a strong guitar work, clean vocals, and melodic choruses. The song ‘Silent Rain’ has a certain BON JOVI feel. Michael Erlandsson contributes backing vocals all over the record, and he’s a fine reference too for the music comprised on “Sahara”. All songs are good, but from the middle of the CD to the end are even better!

Vocalist Ulrick Lönnqvist name will ring a bell for sure, as currently concentrated in songwriting has contributed songs for the latest albums of CREYE, ROBIN McAULEY, BAD HABIT, ROB MORATTI, CRAZY LIXX, ONE DESIRE, and more… simply one of the best and most requested writers from the genre.
”SAHARA [Pride & Joy Music Classixx Vol. 24 remastered]” is a must have in your Scandinavian Rock collection and for fans of elegant, refined AOR / Melodic Rock.
