"BURNING HEART" ALONE GETS 5 STARS!5
Adrian Vandenburg aka "The Flying Dutchman", really knows how to write, compose and play the guitar. "Burning Heart" is nothing short of a masterpiece composition. One of my all-time favorite songs. I have loved it ever since the first time I heard it as a teen and it remains very close to my "burning heart" today. This song will stay with me ALWAYS.

The CD in it's entirety is 3 1/2 stars; it's worth more than one listen. I have heard Adrian play live with Whitesnake and he's amazing. He has such a broad range of emotions he pulls from his heart to his fingers to the guitar.

Some other fabulous songs here are "Prelude Mortale", "Different Worlds" and "Fighting Against the World." Adrian is predominant in these songs. I need an instrumental Adrian CD! The singer, Bert Heerink is good but I'd like to hear just Adrian playing...

SOME GOOD STUFF4
Mr. Vandenberg, currently guitarist for Whitesnake, use to have his own band properly named Vandenberg, during the early to mid 80's. Cranking out NWOBHM music, Vandenberg and co. amounted big success in Europe and Japan but were virtually unheard in the States. And thats to bad, because their is some fine music here. Songs like Alibi, Pedel to the Metal, Wait and Welcome to the Club all rock out better than most bands of that genre were playing at that time. Also, the power ballad Burnin' Heart makes this collection worth owning. Besides, this is the only disc of Vandenberg music available in the States, otherwise you can pay big for imports. This is all of the Vandenberg you will ever need.

Contains some good rockers.3
This collection of songs from Vandenburg isn't bad. I've had the cassette for some time and still give it a listen every once in a while. I don't think that most of the songs are that original or memorable, but they still have good energy and are listenable. Adrian Vandenburg plays very well indeed; and while I'm not big on the vocalist, he still gets the job done. My favorite tunes are "Burning Heart" and "Different Worlds." "Burning Heart" would have to be the most memorable song of this collection--the guitar intro is very good. Vandenburg put out some decent melodic hardrock. Worth a listen.
