Album Description
Like a phoenix from the ashes, Michael Schenker is back. And it's high time because hard rock fans have been missing this talented guitarist for a long time. This was the man who was the hallmark of great music in the 70s and 80s, when he was part of the Scorpions and UFO.

He now returns to his very own musical roots because the "legendary" Gary Barden joins Michael as the first MSG singer on "In The Midst Of Beauty" album, which was co-written by Michael and Gary. Other well-known international musicians accompany Michael on his long-awaited comeback album. Don Airey from Deep Purple is on the keyboards, Neil Murray from Whitesnake strums the bass strings and Simon Phillips works the drums - an international, star-studded line up of world class performers. Michael's impressive guitar playing provides an extraordinary atmosphere throughout the entire album, which was produced and recorded in the studio of his friend, Siggi Schwarz, in Neu-Ulm.

Michael Schenker recovers his former strength with "In The Midst Of Beauty", resulting in a fine mixture throughout, reminiscent of Deep Purple or Rainbow in tracks such as "Nights To Remember" or "End Of The Line". And with "This Time", MSG even have a track which is chartworthy. A healthy dose of hard rock and plenty of lyrical melodies distinguish his new CD, which his loyal and devoted fans will love and which will also impress a wider audience.
