TYGERS OF PAN TANG – Burning In The Shade [Cherry Red remaster Japan Edition mini-LP] (2018) *0dayrox EXCLUSIVE*

With the new, really cool TYGERS OF PAN TANG compilation release, many of you asked for the band’s more ‘AOR’ album from 1987: “Burning In The Shade“, in this excellent Cherry Red Records remaster – in this case its Japanese Edition mini-LP replica.
Tygers Of Pan Tang was one of the bands to define the NWOBHM sound, but in the mid-80s they changed in favor of the dominating Rock style from the era: melodic hard rock and arena-ready AOR.
The band already flirted with this on the previous album The Wreck-Age, however is on this “Burning In The Shade” where the AOR waves and uber polished production dominate the entire record.

Jon Deverill’s vocals soar over elaborated melodic tunes such as ‘Hideaway’, the pumping ‘Hit It’ or the highly harmonic ‘Are You There?’, whereas the classy ’87s AOR sound is fully developed on the spectacular midtempo ‘Dream Ticket’ or the superb keyboard-filled ‘Sweet Lies’.

Unheard by many melodic hard rock / AOR fans which never noticed Tygers Of Pan Tang’s change in sound & style on this album, “Burning In The Shade” includes some terrific AOR tunes with that characteristic British touch in this genre.
Highly Recommended
