(Robin George)
'Crying Diamonds/Dangerous Music Live '85'
(Angel Air records)
MARK: 85/100
It's hard to say whether the studio or the live album is better, being the studio one better recorded but less tight and being the live one less catchy and hypnotic. We can say that in the studio he showed how well he can sing and compose, whereas on stage he displayed his Rock facade.
After disbanding with his first band in 1977 (Life, which included ex-Trapeze members and others that later joined Judas Priest and Magnum), Robin George collaborated with Glenn Hughes, Marshall Law, John Wetton (Asia), Carl Palmer (ELP), Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music), Don Airey (Deep Purple), David Byron (Uriah Heep, The Byron Band), Magnum, Ted Nugent, Climax Blues Band, Roy Wood (The Move, ELO, Wizzard), Phil Lynott, Damage Control, Wrathchild, Witchfinder General, Daniel Boone, Quartz, Raymond Froggat, Waysted, Vix, and Sean Harris when he formed Notorious and released an album for Geffen, which also included the "Highlander II" soundtrack; moreover he additionally produced Diamond Head's all time killer single "Sweet & Innocent", yet we oughtn't to forget his ability of creating great hooks ranging over AOR, Heavy metal, Blues, Dance, Pop, Eastern music, as well as taking the best influences from the musicians he wrote, sang or played with, without forgetting to add a bit of T-Rex, Def Leppard, Robert Plant.
