Review

Project Shangri-La sees Lana Lane and her husband Erik Norlander, who not only played keyboards on the album, but also produced it, eyeing new horizons in more than just the musical sense and extends the Lana Lane family of musicians to several well known artists. The fruitful collaboration with her band members Neil Citron (lead guitar), Mark McCrite (rhythm guitar, background vocals) and Don Schiff (Chapman stick), who were with the American singer both in the studio as well as on several tours around the world, has remained intact. In addition are the former Yngwie Malmsteen singer, Mark Boals, whom Lana knows and respects from Erik?s collaboration with Mark on his Ring Of Fire album. Boals contributed the song ´(Life Is) Only A Dream` and is responsible for an exciting duet in an Italian language version of the classical ballad ´Time To Say Goodbye`. Besides Boals, the German guitarist Helge Engelke (Dreamtide, ex-Fair Warning) brought the song ´Encore` to the group and plays on it as well. Helge also plays an unmistakable solo on the title track, ´Project Shangri-La`, on his 7-string Sky guitar which he received as a gift from its inventor, Uli Jon Roth several years ago. Lana Lane and Erik Norlander are particularly happy to have been able to win their friend and neighbor, drummer Vinnie Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) as guest musician on the album.

As on all previously released albums from Lana Lane's pen, Project Shangri-La particularly benefits from her warm, charismatic voice, which has in the past so often been admired and highly praised by reviewers. The expressive singer's music thrives from an extremely vivacious mixture of orchestral arrangements, emotional rock elements, memorable melodies and atmospheric sound galleries.
