Mark Spiro - Now is then, then is now

This is truly a fine example of good Westcoast/AOR. Following the 1994 album "Care of my soul", this has a lot more energy as "Care of.." was more laid back and in the vein of his latest efforts. "Now is then.." was followed by "Devotion" and "The stuff that dreams are made of", both very good albums, but I tend to think this one is the best. Starting with the track "All the love we kill" end ending with "Midwestern skies", all tracks are good and there are no fillers. A beautful collection of melodic songs with haunting melodies by the master Mark Spiro.
