Divine Right – Powerchange – 1988

This is the second self released album from Kevin Brandow recording as Divine Right. Again he played all of the instruments and recorded it himself. He had Dave Hoffis help him with the mix and while the mix is good the final production is not that great. We have done our best to make it a little better quality but there’s only so much you can do with a 30 some year old cassette. As for the album I think it’s better than his first album showing some maturity in his guitar playing and if I had to pick a favourite track I would go for the title track as it has the most commercially viable sound. Kevin would go on to do a stint with Petra so his skills were recognized in the industry but for some reason he couldn’t get together with a record company for his own work. Really too bad because I would have liked to hear a polished commercial album from him. There is one odd thing about this album in that the final track, that is just a series of guitar solos, did not appear on all copies of the cassette. I don’t know if this was a technical error or something intentional but it’s interesting.
