Definately A Different Journey

I always question why this is not released in the CD format in the US? It is part of the Journey collection. I have the vinyl copy and it is excellent but without a turntable, I can't use it. I'm not sure though that it's worth the money to buy an import but any hard core Journey fan would love to have it. Maybe Columbia records will see this post and consider putting it in the CD format in the US so all Journey fans will have this must album for their own. Without it, your Journey collection is incomplete.

JOURNEY Like You've Never Heard Them Before !

A great collection of instrumental music (with some vocals) from one of the greatest rock bands of ALL TIME ! You have to own this CD, you won't be disappointed AT ALL !

This is the greatest Journey album ever

I originally paid $30 for the CD when it first became available and it was worth every penny. Unlike their mass-produced offerings, which are still quite excellent, this recording showcases the individual member's considerable musical talents. Neal Schon's playing rivals any of the work found on his solo records. Ross Valory contributes a piano piece backed by a string quartet. He also rearranged "Conversations" on the first record into "The Rape" with a broad range of orchestration. Steve Smith's drums own "Sandcastles". And Steve Perry shows off his full range on "Destiny".

I hesitate to call this a Rock record. The vast majority of it sounds like New Age or Contemporary Jazz. Still, open-minded Journey fans who like a broad range of musical styles will find little not to like on this outstanding album.
