This one has been requested many times here; GLEN BURTNICK‘s second solo album 1987’s “Heroes & Zeros”. But we have a special feature at 0dayrox: the Limited Edition version of the album later remastered & released by Burtnick himself since the original A&M CD was out of print.
Only available via his website for a short time, this “Heroes & Zeros Limited Edition” features different cover artwork / photo and two additional tracks previously unreleased.
The CD is factory silver pressed, has no barcode, no label, no catalog number, or other identifying information except for “11.17.62 productions”, but believe me, the remastered sound quality is greater than the original.
“Heroes & Zeros Limited Edition” is first class ’80s melodic Hi-Tech, radio-friendly pop-rock lite AOR plenty of wonderful melodies and Burtnick’s class songwriting. Co-produced with David Prater (of Firehouse, Dream Theater fame, etc) the album sports a pristine sound quality and perfect mix, with talented musicians involved including Journey’s Neal Schon on guitar.
And 0dayrox always give you more from our archives: as extra we added Burtnick’s rare promo-only song ‘Face in the Mirror’ used in a series of TV commercials for Philishave electric shavers in the 1990s, and ‘Some Kind Of Day’, his contribution for the 1986 ‘Armed And Dangerous’ movie soundtrack, a song only appeared there…

Another request in one comment (place yours!) is the incredibly melodic, perfectly written AOR music from “Talking In Code“, the delicious solo debut by GLEN BURTNICK remastered some time ago and released by YesterRock / NL Distribution.
Glen Burtnick’s name is quite known in the AOR universe since the ’80s, probably as a former member of Styx. This “Talking In Code”, his solo debut, it’s a terrific piece of classy mid-Eighties AOR that unfortunately somehow got lost in the incredible musical year that was 1986 when appeared.
Recorded with the help of such famous session musicians as awesome guitarists Dan Huff & Bobby Messano, drummer David Prater (later exquisite producer), keyboard genius Alan Pasqua – to name but a few, and produced by Richard Landis (Nielsen/Pearson, Van Stephenson) “Talking In Code” is one of my all-time favourite albums.
