Sweden seems to be again strongly in the arrival. Thus I imagined, I rummage about a little bit in my collection and see there, one has also found really again which I must lay to you in the heart. The band i meant called State Of Mind and get under the german label MTM as „Classix“ released. The Swedes released already a mini-CD „Dream Those Dreams“ 1993 and in 1995 „Mother“ and the second album just get released in Japan. So you will find on „Memory Lane“ two Songs from the first CD and eight Songs from the second album. The only new Thing are the two unreleased Songs „Hang Tough“ and „Gypsy Rave“. State Of Mind was formed in the beginning of 1987. Many vocalists came and went before Conny Lind was added to the Line-Up. If you listen the first songs you will know which way of the music style they make. Bands like TNT, Van Halen, Whitesnake or even Damn Yankees I would say. How one is able to produce so similar song structures, play technology and song texts like Van Halen is quite close too incredibly. Their sound is totally prescribed for the melody hard rock with a certain blues touch. I personally like this sound quite well and many of my friends hold rather against it and plead to the fact that this disc is nothing new and seems to be more secondary not necessary. Of course it´s getting more boring after a time what is really a pity. The melody and play technology decrease quite, the drums don´t wake someone and the guitars look rather tasteless. Certainly convinced Conny Lind on the songs, but really warm I don´t get with him. Friends of those mentioned bands before can always have a look on this CD. Choose your own meaning!
