A Blast Of Musicianship To Clear Out The PoP And Rap Cobwebs, January 23, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Astrology (Audio CD)
This is the 'real' alternative music. I first heard Lana Lane on a sampler disc that a friend lent me, and subsequently hunted down Secrets Of Astrology . I have had this disc for well over a year now, and I've yet to get sick of it. Lana Lane possesses the type of voice that I haven't heard in a long time - rich, powerful, full of emotion and fire. She does vocally bear a passing resemblence to Ann Wilson, and that's not bad company to keep. Lane and her husband/colloborator Erik Norlander have produced a brilliant disc of in your face material that announces what it is, right off the top. The Astrology Suite/Secrets Of Astrology/Postlude is the starting point. kudos to guitarist Arjen Lucassen, and especially drummer Ed Wharby, who is rock steady and shows his flash on songs like Speed Of Sound. Above all though, is the quality of Lane's voice. She is more than a screamer, as tracks like Alexandria, The Bell, and Guardian Angel prove. I have since started to track down her back catalogue, which is large. She does have some uneven albums, but there is no quibbling with Secrets Of Astrology; It packs a punch, gets in your face, and is topped off by the type of voice I had thought had disappeared a Decade ago. Well Done, Lana, you've convinced me!

Beyond the normal musical artists' comprehension..., June 29, 2000
This review is from: Secrets of Astrology (Audio CD)
Lana Lane, introduced to me by a friend who knows her personally, goes beyond the bounds of normal musical composition and performance. With intrinsic and exhilierating sounds of hard rock and keyboards along with Lane's deep and passionate voice, "Secrets of Astrology" calls for a breakout into the musical scene. Unfortunately, Lana's music has yet to reach the audience of the States...However, if she does, she will surpass the cliches and typical musical genres of the Americans and show us true musical talent. An absolute marvel and spectacle for any music lover.
