ARIS ? Rain Dries? Review (Strutter)
ARIS 'Rain Dries' (TSL RECORDS)
Out of Germany comes ARIS, a very
professional sounding lighter AOR/Pop band.
They recorded their debut CD 'Rain dries' in
their own studio and it all sounds pretty good to
me. There are 14 songs on the CD and there is a
variation of pure AOR songs and pure Pop
tracks. At times the band can be compared to
bands like HIGHER GROUND, PROMOTION,
OUTRIDER, BOULEVARD?
Opener "No one else" is a good example of how good this band can sound, because
this first track is a lovely calmer AOR piece in the style of
JOURNEY/STRANGEWAYS. A great start for ARIS and I really thought this was
going all the way throughout the CD. Unfortunately, next track "Like your daddy"
is pure Pop and has nothing to do with our beloved musicstyle. "Smile" follows in a
poppy AOR style, a bit like old PROMOTION. Then we're back into AOR
territory again on the song "Keeps me alive", a great pure AOR song (with a lovely
melodic guitarsolo) in the style of JOURNEY and STRANGEWAYS again.
After this song, the band is changing back to a very calm popstyle on songs like
"Moonlight", "Love calling", "Crazy for you" and "Where do we go". On songs like
those ARIS sounds like BOB CARLISLE and the AOR influences are hard to find.
Happily, there are also some more AOR orientated pieces such as "She cries"
(calmer progressive AOR), "Wonderland" (calmer AOR) and "Friendly face". This
last mentioned song is again superb pure AOR (a la STRANGEWAYS and
JOURNEY).
So, in the end we got three awesome pure AOR songs ("No one else", " Friendly
face" and "Keeps me alive") and the rest is either Poppy AOR or pure Pop. It's
your choice if you're interested in such a diverse band. Well, I really enjoyed ARIS
and besides musically, I also need to add that the lay-out of their CD is looking very
good. More info on ARIS at: http://www.artist-tonstudio.de and e-mail them at:
