Fans from Eric Norlander, Rocket Scientists and Lana Lane can buy this DVD/Audio blindfolded. All the other folks who don’t know Erik’s work should read the following.

 

The vocals are performed by Lana Lana and by Kelly Keeling who appeared previously on Norlander's "Music Machine" (2003) and "Stars Rain Down" (2004). They are vocal performers pur sang. In Lana’s own words “You can compare us as two guitarists on vocals”. Kelly keeling also plays the bass-Guitar in the concert. Lana and Keeling are joined on stage by Dutch musicians Peer Verschuren on guitar and Ernst Van Ee on drums who have been touring together with Norlander and Lane for a number of years from Europe to Japan.

 

All the tracks are ever so wonderfull. Erik is a true Synth and Keyboard Wizard. He can easily placed together with John Lord and Rick Wakeman. His strength lies within when he plays live to corporate his fav’s sounds within his own songs.

 

This DVD package is a true money’s worth for the buyer. With the whole St. Petersburg performance and also the documentary with several tracks from different gigs. Plus an additional Audio CD. On the audio cd you’ll find two new tracks 1. Fanfare for absent friends part two and 2. From Russia with Love.

 

My advice is don’t hesitate buy this great DVD and let Erik and his friends take you on a Fantastic Voyage.
