Fantastic AOR masterpiece, with a brilliant version of New England's 'Dont Ever Wanna Lose You'. Their first album is also well worth a listen and these are the best albums I've bought in last 12 months (Better than Icon's Night of the Crime, and I-ten Taking A Cold Look for example).

Went watching houston at wigan WN2 after buying the first CD not expecting much but they turned up with a full band and were fantastic. After listening to this CD of cover versions I now can't wait to see what they do next. i'm not going to run through all the songs, you just need to listen to them for yourself. A confident second effort and well worth five stars.

Covers album by the Swedish AOR sensation "Houston"
26 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD
It has been just over a year since `Houston' turned the melodic rock/AOR world up-side-down with the release of their self titled debut album. The Swedish duo has returned with an extensive EP, "Relaunched" featuring seven cover versions along with two songs of their debut in acoustic versions.
Once again "Houston" is lead singer Hampus Hank Erix and drummer Freddie Allain featuring guest musicians Laurie Mansworth on guitar, keyboardist Mark Mangold and Eliz Ryd who contributes female vocals. The team suceeds in "Houston"-izing this selection of classic and lesser known AOR gems, which prove perfectly compatible with the distinct vintage-melodic AOR sound of the band.
In particular the Michael Bolton song "Carrie" is nothing less than a genuine AOR statement when delivered by "Houston", equally impressive is the keyboard driven "Don't you know what love is", a song close to "Houston"s own songwriting that definitely hits the spot. One could also characterize as essential the newly composed "Without your love", a melodic rock duet between Hampus and Eliz Ryd (of "Amaranthe") making direct reference to the "Houston" song "Truth Slips".
Overall, "Relaunch" is an inescapable buy for anyone who enjoyed the "Houston" debut; it seems that most fans of the genre can not get enough of "Houston" and "Relauch" is the perfect means to keep one going in anticipation of their second album.
