STRANGEWAYS - Where Do We Go From Here [Live At Firefest] (2011)
Official Release
Recorded on FireFest Sunday, Strangeways took the stage to the acclaim of a packed Rock City without even hitting a note.
The type of welcome usually reserved for homecoming heroes, well, in fact judging by the audience reaction to simply glimpsing Ian, Terry, Jim, Munch and Warren on stage they not only justified their status as musical heavyweights within this genre, but as a bonafide top of the pile AOR band par excellence with a track record to prove it.
Contained here is a document of THAT performance, 22 years of hurt was dispelled for the masses that awaited the return.
Mixing back catalogue classics such as ‘Love Lies Dying’, ‘Where Do We Go from Here’, ‘Empty Streets’ and the all time mega classic ‘Only a Fool’ with new material such as the title track from their current studio opus ‘Perfect World’, the sublime ‘Time’ and the monstrous Zeppelin-esque ‘Bushfires’.
If you were at the show this is your personal memento, if you did not attend, it is the next best thing to being there.
"Where Do We Go From Here" was recorded at Firefest on Sunday October 31st in front of an adoring audience which prompted the band to deliver one of the performances of the entire weekend, and considering the quality of the bands performing over the weekend, that is some accolade.
Fireworks' Mark Warburton called it 'an inspired set', Lazy Rocker magazine stating 'they opened the doors to AOR Heaven'.
Production duties have been carried out by Ian J. Stewart himself, and the album has been mixed and mastered by none other than Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) at H Bomb Mastering, Canada.
