Finest Album Of Their Career!
20 April 2000
Format:Audio CD
This album followed on the heels of the superb Vanishing Race, released in 1993. News From Nowhere not only matches the beauty and strength of that album, it surpasses it.
While many may write Air Supply off as 80's relics, they overlook the fact that the band is now producing the finest music of their career. Air Supply was never at a loss for great melodies, but with "News", as well as its predecessor, a new sophistication is unearthed. The arrangements are rich and haunting, especially on such tracks as "Heart Of the Rose" and "Just Between the Lines". The romantic element is everpresent, but it is paired with a sense of introspection. "Can't Stop The Rain" is a perfect example of this.
The album has a wonderful flow to it, with balance between mid-tempo numbers and ballads. "Unchained Melody" provides a mix of faithful rendition and new sonic clarity, not to mention a superb Russell Hitchcock vocal. Graham Russell gets many a chance to shine, not the least on the album's most adventurous track: "Primitive Man". Like "The Vanishing Race", this track explores a world/ethnic sensibility, compelling and hypnotic. Lush orchestrations and the wonderful piano of Guy Allison complement the material, transcending the ordinary.
News From Nowhere is a testament to a band hitting its stride, in spite of trends and flavors of the day. Good News, and great music, can come From Nowhere!

GREAT CD!

I have purchased this CD, and I really enjoy it. I especially enjoy their version of Unchained Melody. If you are a constomer and unsure about this CD, take this advise, (From one Air Supply Fan to another) this is one of their best CD's they put out. BUY IT! You won't be disappointed. Oh by the way, they put on a spectacular concert.

Good News Indeed!
30 Oct 2003
Format:Audio CD
I've always enjoyed Air Supply, but they've really outdone themselves with this magnificent recording. The title track and 'Spirit of Love' are my personal favorites, but the entire album shines! If you've never given this group a listen, then start with this CD. They will be hard pressed to surpass it for sheer beauty and feeling.
