I wasn't aware of this band's existence previously until I checked out James Christian's web page because of a new House of Lords album due on the horizon called Cartesian Dreams. The minute I heard the clips of this blues rock band I immediately fell in love with the music. I got myself the album and what I can say is I am currently in Heaven! I am not usually a blues person as I am more of a melodic, aor, metal, progressive, gothic, symphonic, power metal kinda guy but this Moonstone Project: Rebel On The Run strickes gold for me. This is simply blistering to put in an awesome term. I love the fact that Glenn Hughes is on this album as well. I have loved James' vocals since House Of Lords inception long ago but the music on this album is bluesy and kick butt rock! From the opener to the closer every song on this album is just on its own and spot on. There is not one song that is similar to one another. The bluesy composition is just so addicting. Melodic and soulful at the same time. Fans of rock or blues should try this out. I can assure you that you will be like me feeling euphoric and ecstatic with this album. I cannot say how fantastic the entire band is. I am very fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem. I am checking their earlier album for sure. Recommended to all rock fans.

If you like good old fashion blues rock or a touch of progresive rock like elp, or deep purple you are sure to like this cd.It is well written and played by matt filippini and ,james christian,and alesandro del vegghio . The stand outs are sinner sinner ,rebel on the run ,shooting star ,and halfway to heaven if you like the bands mention above by this cd iam sure you wont be dissapointed. I hope this review was helpfull to you

Now this is one excellent rock n roll CD. Matt Filippini and friends, which includes a very impressive list including Glenn Hughs, Ken Hensley, Ian Paice and James Christian have put together a muscular, eclectic, funky, guitar driven monster of a rockin' CD. If you are only able to purchase two CD's this entire year Moonstone Project 'Rebel on the run' had better be one of those CDs. It's that good! I couldn't get this CD soon enough! Matt Filippini has improved and matured his music. "Rebel On the Run" harkens back to the 1970's Deep Purple vibe ala "Come taste the Band" era. The production is crisp and clean. The guitar is awsome and the use of keyboard is effective throughout the CD. Matt you've really out done yourself. Bodda boom bodda bing! Here's hoping that Mr. Filippini has many, many more CD's up his quitar playing sleeve.
