Rock Report reissue review

ZENO - Zeno - MTM Classix, 2004        
Zeno Roth, younger brother of Uli Jon Roth, was born in 1956. He started to play the guitar on a self-taught basis and was interested in acts like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Winter and Yes. In 1974 he formed his first band, Black Angel. Between 1979 and 1983 he wrote a lot of songs, some of which were later used for Zeno. At the same time he was playing and recording with several German bands, among which Karthago. In 1984 he formed Zeno with Ule Ritgen (Fair Warning, Dreamtide) and after hearing the first demo, many majors became interested in the band. It was EMI who finally signed the band and soon they were found recording their first album in several studios all over the world. Lots of guests were invited and by 1986 the record was ready to go. After that Zeno toured with bands like Black Sabbath, Keel and Krokus, but then it became quite silent ... until the Zeno album was re-released in Japan (as part of the Burrn! Legendary Masters) on October 20, 1993. It kicked up quite a fuss at the time and was quickly followed by a second Zeno album, called "Zenology" (Zero Corporation, 1995).
MTM Classix is now re-releasing the Zeno debut album, which is known by the AOR brotherhood as a much sought-after highlight, featuring glorious classic songs as "Eastern Sun", "Emergency", "Don't Tell The Wind" and "Sent By Heaven". To make this remixed and remastered reissue even more interesting than it already is, no less than five bonus tracks have been added, of which one 'new' song ("Don't Count Me Out') and four unreleased versions of songs which were recorded to get the original deal with EMI. Personally I own the Japanese reissue, but if you're still searching this gem, this is your chance to finally lay your hands on it.
