ALIEN – Shiftin’ Gear [AOR Heaven Classix remastered +4]

Some time ago AOR HEAVEN via their sub-label AOR Heaven Classix has reissued “Shiftin’ Gear“, the second album from Swedish Melodic Hard Rock masters ALIEN. Remastered and with 4 previously unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions, this is a must have gem of an album. You need Alien’s “Shiftin’ Gear +4 AOR Heaven Classix” in your Melodic Hard Rock collection. It’s pure Scandinavian melodic stuff, and while this AOR Heaven Classix is out of print now – a remaining un-open copy is being sold for 215,95 €, check below – it worth every cent; the sound quality is superb and there’s a nice essay in the booklet about the evolution of this essential band, plus complete lyrics & photos.
