Revisited

In February of 2012, Tom Saviano decided to begin re-examining all of the original HEAT recordings. Personally I recall that I chatted with Tom and got opportunities to see its progress over Skype with him between Los Angeles where Tom lived and London I lived then. It was really fun. He meticulously reshaped the sound field on chosen songs by adding (and sometimes subtracting) musical elements within each track to give them a modern groove and feel and also improved the overall fidelity by giving the recordings a wider frequency and impact.And 5 previously unheard tracks recorded during the same 80’s period intended for HEAT releases were added to this revisited album. Furthermore, exciting new contributions from musicians and vocalists including Bill & Tamara Champlin, Vinnie Colaiuta, Michael O’Neill, Charles “Icarus” Johnson, Nathan East, Carmen Grillo, Bruce Gaitsch and more are added to breathe new life into mid 80’s original recording.
