Review by SIMON NOTT:
This a celebration of the life so far of Paul Fenech’s Meteors. I say Paul Fenech’s Meteors because that is what they have been for most of their 28 year existence and so far because they show no sign of stopping. Their debut album ‘In Heaven’ is still revered by most aficionados of the genre as still the best of its ilk and was a partnership of song writing between Fenech and Nigel Lewis. The Lewis songs from that album are missing from here but the band of that time is represented in all its glory. The story thereafter is all down to the drive and vision of Fenech and it’s a fascinating listen to hear how the band progressed through the decades without losing its identity and crown despite countless line-up changes. The booklet includes and interview with Paul Fenech and gives a rare insight into his opinions of songs and past band members, you may be surprised! It is a must-have if you want an all in one best of this legendary and hugely influential band.
