Frontiers Records proves once again that it's developing into a very big label by taking studious and careful step. Living proof is Talisman's "Five Men Live", a double cd that contains two "made in Sweden" live shows (one given at a festival and the other at a club) and let everybody see the right way to party on stage. In particular, "Five Men Live" can be considered as Talisman's live best-of/compilation including 3 cover songs on "Crazy"- Seal, "Scream of Anger" - Europe, "I Don't Know" - Ozzy Osbourne.

You don't have the chance to listen to live cd's like this one everyday, so it's pretty obvious that even if you're not a fan of the band, you'll become one from the very first spin and you'll do everything within your powers not to miss their show in your country. I'm pretty sure that all of you familiar with their sound know what I mean and have put "Five Men Live" on top of their list. As for the rest, it's a good place to start. I bet that in the near future this won't be the only Talisman cd in your collection.

Nothing else but a wish for an immediate successor to "Cats and Dogs" by Marcel Jacob and his party.
