5.0 out of 5 stars GTR (Band), February 26, 2009

GTR is one of the best bands ever formed, though for a brief period of history. If you like Yes and Asia, you will love them! I first heard them in the late 80's, got the cassette tape and listened to them constantly. My cassette was stolen and ever since have looked for a CD and finally found one here on Amazon. I'm thrilled, to say the least!

GTR 1986. featuring Phil Spalding, Steve Hackett, Jonathan Mover, Steve Howe, and Max Bacon.

GTR came together following Steve Howe's leaving from Asia (1985). Teaming up with Steve Hackett of "Genesis" Adding Bass guitarist Phil Spalding and drummer Jonathan Mover and finally gaining strong vocal talent from singer Max Bacon.
GTR released one self-titled album (Arista Records November 1986). This gold album had two fairly big hits
"When the Heart Rules the Mind" hit #14 and "The Hunter" which topped at #85. The album as a whole hit #11 on the charts. That was about it as the band slowly crumbled after a North American and Europian tour.

This album is now in cd form only as an import and runs a few bucks. I truly believe it to be worth every dime. It has a definite eighties sound to it but, as that this was prime of life time for these great talents, it is a must have for anyone familiar with the groups they all came from.

This is a great musical addition to either an Asia or Yes collection. Standing alone it is also a good album for progressive rock. Unfortunately there is no follow-up album, nor one anticipated, at this point in time. I highly recommend this album for Progressive Rock fans and collectors.
