Melidian’s ‘Lost In The Wild’ Gets Reissued
October 31, 2010
The lone Melidian album ‘Lost In The Wild’, originally released on CBS in 1989, was truly a peach of an album, yet it was one of those sadly lost amidst the throng of half baked records desperately vying for a slice of a market that was about to be engulfed by back-to-basics grunge and irritating college rock.
Perhaps Melidian’s educated musical roots were to blame – their sound was a triumphant mix of pompish keyboard driven AOR and muscular riffs, laced with razor sharp guitar riffs. Imagine a satisfying combination of Survivor, Bad English and Giant for an accurate approximation of their sound and you’ll be half way to paradise. Time now to reappraise a most satisfying, yet largely unheralded, album from this little known New York City five piece.
Rock Candy Records reissued ‘Lost in The Wild’ with 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, a 4,000 word essay about the making of the album, an interview with band members and additional previously unseen photos spread out over a 12 page full colour booklet. The CD can be purchased at www.rockcandyrecords.co.uk.
