Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12
The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

Andromeda features the young, guitar virtuoso Johan Reinholtz and ex-Darkane vocalist Lawrence Mackrory. 7 tracks. 2001 release.Customer Reviews:
Holds up to repeated listenings..........2006-08-27
Progressive Alternative?.......2006-08-16
This album is one of the best that I ever took a chance on. It has many elements that you wish some new DT albums had to them. They jam well; kind of in the style of 'Images and Words' or 'Awake'. I'm noticing also a lack of the usual "vocal hook" in the songs that make them memorable. THis is mostly due to the vocalist style or maybe just me not repetatively listening to it. Anyway, you know you'll never forget "...will never be heard from again..." (Dream Theater) or "...triumphant champion of Ithica..." (Symphony X) or any chorus sung by Lance King in any Balance of Power album. The vocals on 'The Perfect Element I' (Pain of Salvation) are what draws you into the musical theme and the heart and soul of the album. This is not the case with 'Extension' though. The vocals do have a defining moment to them in the title track but was more of a letdown to me at first because they have that moody "alternative" feel to them and not the high soaring metal power that I've gotten used to from bands offering the same music style. It reminded me alot of "Disconnected" by Fates Warning, or that low non-aggressive singing on some of Tourniquet's "Crawl to China" - good music but just missing that power punch.
Track 1 punches you in the face with it's odd meter and its guitar lickiness. This is good prog...my second favorite track.
Track 2 This has alot of DT type songwriting and arrangement, I love this song. The guitar solo is admirable and aggressive too!
Track 3 has some really heavy parts, maybe downtuned. This band really likes to count to seven. He really sonds like some alternative grunge guy with his bangs covering his eyes here - The Cure with a more manly band backing him up.
Track 4 is the best. It's their instrumental(!). It's got some truly dirty pentatonic blues riffage that makes me want to listen over and over...Very funky! It's kind of a twisted version of "Frankenstien" for us prog addicts. The only thing missing is the crybaby wah pedal guitar solo.
Track 5 starts off very explosive and has some very good vocal action in it. The chorus has some seriously Rob Zombie sounding "I'm more evil than you" stuff in it too. I really like the singing during the break. It's an all around pentatonic hardcore sounding song with that added demention of a keyboard/synth.
Track 6 is the longest track and it's the title track. It's also where the singer starts sounding alot like the dude form Social Distortion. I say this is the low point of the album, but it's also the only part I hum to myself all day long. It kind of shows the catch-22 duality of stuff you think you don't like. It's catchy because it's so odd and out of place and it's not what you would have wanted to hear. The main progression with vocals sounds like a teenage grunge band made it up... but this is surrounded by some excellent musicianship nonetheless so I got over it.
Track 7 This is a pretty good tune too. The singer turns into Geoff Tate in "Silent Lucidity" for the verses and becomes more alternative again everywhere else.
One good thing could come of this whole alternative/grunge style of singing. It could be an opportunity to get your Alternative/grunge music loving friend converted to a form of music that isn't centered around depression, anger, victim mentalities, self pity, drugs, drunkeness and useless conflict all the time. He/she may become interested in bands that actually can play instruments and read books. Spread the news.
A good debut album.......2006-08-07
Guitarist, Johan Reinholtz is at times showy but is in John Petrucci-land in terms of technique and for the most part, tone, but most important, in his ability to switch geers and know when to play melodic rather than full bore solo mode. I am not by the CD but the keyboards are played with similar qualities to guitar. These two should stick together forever as they have a great sense of filling musical spaces and working exceptionally well with one another.
Reinholtz could do well spending a bit more time programming his effects as many were cheesy presets. It's like having a wonderful meal with a course of Spam, the effects aren't often necessary and take away from his skillful playing.
In terms of songwriting, I'm happy to say it is nicely innovative although to make a complete album with songs that start and end near perfectly made me a bit annoyed with the fade-out ending, of all things, on the closing song, "Arch Angel".
There are some other very small issues which keep the CD from getting 5 stars out of me, but I'd recommend this album to anyone that enjoys their progressive heavy or their metal on the progressive side.
Great CD.......2006-05-23
The only thing that keeps this CD from getting a 5 star rating is the singer. Some of his singing becomes almost unbearable, its not in tune with the music at all, and his voice is just plain annoying. If you've heard Spiral Architect and didn't like their singers voice, you probably won't like this guys voice.
Other than that, Amazing CD!

Album Description
Energetic, Electrifying, Immortal - just some of the words used to describe Magic Circle Music recording artists, Feinstein! And with this summer's release of the album Third Wish, a new era of slash and burn is certain to ignite for the man behind the name David "Rock" Feinstein!The moniker should not only ring a bell in the minds of true metal devotees, but also leave famished metal fans quivering in anticipation. As the original guitarist with the band Elf (the group that eventually became Richie Blackmore's Rainbow) and the lead guitarist/vocalist with the now legendary heavy-metal trio The Rods (purveyors of sinfully molten metal), David "Rock" Feinstein has certainly assured himself a name in the annals of rock `n' roll. His barnstorming, take-no-prisoners style of guitar playing shredded the grooves of The Rods eponymously-titled debut album, waving the banner flag for the New Wave of Heavy Metal that thundered through the `80s. And now comes the band Feinstein, with "Rock's" guitar once again taking unshakable and determined control, delivering both robust blows and disciplined caresses in equal yet magnetic proportions. The man seems inbred with rock `n' roll fever. Fans of The British New Wave Of Heavy Metal will not be disappointed.

Metal Blender on "High".......2006-02-17
About this disc: Holy crap....think of every great metal band you've ever heard and throw 'em all in a blender. What you get is a collection of great guitar riffs, excellent melodies, very diverse vocals,(John sounds like Jo lyn Turner one minute, Don Dokken the next, and at other times Bruce Dickinson...pretty cool sheeet.
The percussion is very solid throughout.
I'm not even through the whole disc yet and my fav is 3rd wish, but like other reviewers I suspect after heavy rotation that may change. Did I mention David Feinstein plays like a chameleon? This guy can jam...He can sound like whom ever he wants at will. If I had to say one guy he sounds like it would be Glen Tipton,( and you know that guy can jam...)
Yeah, I'm glad I got this.

One of the best metal cds in a long time..........2005-08-27
BEST CD of 2004.......2005-05-27
The Best Metal Album of 2004.......2005-02-01
For lovers of the classic metal sound of Dio, Dio-era Sabbath, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Whitesnake and classic Scorpions, you will not only NOT be disappointed, you will be overjoyed as I was.
This album is packed with class. The music is powerful, heavy, intelligent and beautiful. David "Rock" Feinstein is a fine guitar player with a terrific knack at writing catchy, heavy tunes where melody is the key. His style is primarily an older style of hard rock guitar playing, much more akin to Richie Blackmore than Yngwie Malmsteen. He plays for the song, not over and above it. John West, who I had the pleasure of meeting many years ago in New York city, has a rich, thick, clear voice, perfect for the songs on offer here. His range is excellent and his performance is the icing on the cake. The drumming, bass work and keyboards are stellar as well.
Out of the 11 songs on the CD, which include the instrumental "Inferno", it is such a pleasure to have a terribly hard time picking my favorites, because the album is just so strong and complete, but here goes: "Regeneration" is the album opener and it is hard and fast and catchy with John West sounding at times like Klaus Meine, which is a total compliment. "Third Wish" is epic and Sabbath-esque, a totally complete song. "Masquerade" is brilliant, so catchy, so heavy with amazing vocals, and "Poison Ivy" is heavy and bluesy, a truly great song.
The rest of the album is terrific as well with one exception, that being "Ride to Live, Live to Ride", which to me sounded like a filler tune.
Feinstein has created a great album. True metal fans have been waiting for something like this for a long time. "Third Wish" is art. It is powerful and mighty music. I hope the band sticks around for many years creating more wonderful music like this. I wish I could give it six stars.
A solid metal offering.......2005-01-15

ONCE more again.......2004-11-20
Where were you last night, a cover of another great metal band, is just amazing. Tarja's voice is as clear as the wind in autumn, but lovely and strong as we never heard before.
Vids are ok, because Nightwish is not famous for it, but is cool when we can see anything of them.
As part of ONCE album, this CD is just for collectors, something special for all Nightwish fans.
