Throughout the 1980s, "We are the Scorpions!" was lead vocalist Klaus Meine's concert-opening battle cry, energizing and readying the faithful in sold-out stadiums for a Teutonic onslaught of vital, sometimes plodding, eardrum-splitting rock anthems. In short, the arena-rock monsters were never a picnic-under-the-stars kind of band ... until Moment of Glory. The new millennium brings the Scorpions full circle, melding in-your-face party anthems like "Rock You Like a Hurricane" (now called "Hurricane 2000") and "Big City Nights" into fully orchestrated concoctions featuring the Berlin Philharmoniker. Where the grandiose likes of "Wind of Change" and "Still Loving You" are obvious choices for such a pairing, and indeed, work well, the "Deadly Sting Suite," with almost unrecognizable instrumental versions of "He's a Woman, She's a Man" and "Dynamite," will likely catch the unknowing fan of classic Scorps off guard. Both Deep Purple and Metallica have used full orchestras to accent their songs with mixed results, and the same goes for the Scorps. There's a fine line between wine-and-cheese classical fare and whiney and cheesy metal. Here the Scorpions teeter, if often gracefully, on that line. --Katherine Turman

Got me hooked on Scorpions.......2007-04-12

I absolutely love the marriage of rock and symphony here. It's gorgeous. The Scorpions take already amazing songs and pump them up an extra notch. A long time ago I heard "Still Loving You" on the radio, not knowing who sung it. It took me years to finally discover the Scorpions. I own two different versions of "Still Loving You," and I far prefer this one to the original. It gives me this yearning inside. The only thing I don't like about this album is the guest vocalists. I love Klaus Meine. He adds an ethereal element to the music, and with the guest vocals, it takes away from the beauty, in my opinion. But don't let that deter you from getting this, because it is so worth it. "Rock You Like a Hurricane" is amazing! It's all amazing!

Moment of Glory.......2007-04-01

With metal music it is always louder is better and this album found one of the coolest ways to make metal louder. Combining the Scorpions with a the Philharmonic creates one of the coolest sounding albums I have ever heard.

[].......2007-03-14

i dont own this album but i have heard the songs off of it and i think their all great and performed well. and also as a side note since i read alot of comments about the guest vocals on "big city nights" but no mention of who: it is Ray Wilson best known for replacing Phill Collins in Genesis and recording the classic Calling all Stations

dynamite!.......2002-10-21

Just when you think the scorpions couldn't do worst...they prove you wrong!
Even Metallica's s&m is better...close but still.
I am sure that it was a great experience to live, for the band and the audience, because that type of event is always unique and can bring strong emotions-unless you have a dumb..s sitting next to you, drinkin' beer and screaming every five minutes Dynamiiiiiiite!!-but on cd...for me it doesn't do it,but it probably is a treasure for those who were there.
Now, I'm not gonna start the debat with DEEP PURPLE and the LSO(1999) but I was there at the Royal Albert Hall and that's why I can understand the concept and the thrill of holding the recording of such concerts...but still DEEP PURPLE 's symphonic album features something that neither Scorpions or Metallica holds...and this is an ORIGINAL PIECE OF MUSIC CREATED FOR A GROUP AND A ORCHESTRA!

Truly a Moment of Glory for the Scorpions!.......2002-07-31

AWESOME is how I would sum up this CD. From the moment I first heard it, I knew I HAD to have it. Buy it! You won't be disappointed!

First flame.......2005-01-20

Originally released by E'G/Polydor Records, reissued in the U.S. by Passport/Jem/Caroline and elsewhere by Virgin. Had three other covers. I had heard half the album already on the 1987 compilation "King's Road 1973-80", and a live version of "Woman" on "Arkangel". I have the Australian LP, but another CD reissue has bonus tracks. You know how it is. The album at first got little notice. A year or two later, Asia came to pass. The rest is history. It wouldn't be until after leaving Asia for good in the early '90s that John Wetton would have the full-fledged solo career that continues to this day.

Wetton Caught At The Crossroads.......2003-12-03

This 1980 album was John Wetton's very first solo album and it displays a transitional phase for the ex-king Crimson/U.K. bassist/singer/writer. It sits comfortable, in both timeline and in style, between his short-lived late 70's Roxy Music-meets-ELP fusion-rock band U.K., and the huge success of progressive power-pop combo Asia a year or so later. These are mostly songs of love, relationships, and hurt, and John puts his heart into his singing here, setting the stage for later work like 'Battle Lines'. 'Baby Come back', 'Turn On The Radio' and 'Paper Talk' are dead ringers for Asia, while the title track features Roxy's Phil Manzanera. 'Woman' was actually written for King Crimson in 1974 I beleive, but the band folded before anything was made of it.
Best moments include 'Get What You Want' which features lyrics by Pete Sinfield, 'I'll Be There'(catchy!), and one of the most excellent and emotional songs Wetton has ever written, 'Cold Is The Night'. Cold Is The Night is actually worth the price of the cd alone, powerful vocals, great song overall. You can't go wrong with John Wetton's first solo album, good songs, a somewhat Asia/U.K. hybrid which was a good turning point in his career which up untill this point had consisted of band contributions and session work. The remastered version of Caught In The Crossfire also has two bonus tracks, but they don't sound like they were from these sessiions but rather more like circa 1994-1997. They don't belong here, but they are extra Wetton songs which only add to the overall value of this disc.

Muy pobre.......2003-06-10

Mi interés por John Wetton proviene, exclusivamente, de su participación en King Crimson. Por ese motivo, cuánto más se aleja de lo que hizo con el grupo, y posteriormente en UK, menos me gusta. No obstante, los últimos discos (Rock of Faith, Sinister, etc.) aún siendo comerciales y, un tanto blanditos, tienen buenos momentos y se escuchan con agrado. No así este que nos ocupa que, además de contar con pocas ideas compositivas, se ve lastrado por la horrible producción típica de los años 80. Mucha ampulosidad, mucho teclado para un disco de AOR sin demasiados vuelos.

A Taste of What Was to Come.......2000-08-02

John Wetton is a funny guy. He possesses impeccable progressive rock credentials obtained from membership in both UK and King Crimson. In the early 80's, he soared to world-wide stardom as frontman for the band Asia -- a band that included the equally luminous prog-rockers Steve Howe, Carl Palmer and Geoff Downes. An unlikely rock star, Wetton's overtly commercial pop songs drenched with thick, romantic lyrics stood in stark contrast to his days with Robert Fripp's King Crimson. While the masses bought Asia albums by the millions, die-hard prog-rock fans wondered how a band that consisted of so much talent could actually be so bad. Don't get me wrong. I loved Asia -- and still do to this day. Why? There was a sincerity ("devout honesty" may be a better term) that Wetton unflinchingly emanated. That is to say, when he was singing about a break-up or lost love, you really believed that he experienced it. Through subsequent solo efforts, Wetton has maintained and even augmented this style. "Caught in the Crossfire" is a good example of Wetton beginning to move in this direction. "Turn on the Radio" is an airwave friendly pop tune that kicks off the disc. However, "Cold is the Night Without You" is a real harbinger of future work: soaring vocals, themes of loss and loneliness, etc. Very powerful stuff, to say the least. By the time the first Asia album was released, this solo album was already out of print. At the time, I searched many used record shops in several cities before I finally found the original vinyl recording. In recent years, I had occassion to witness Wetton perform live acousticly. His inclusion of one of the songs off this disc melded well with the Asia and post-Asia material performed that night. For Wetton fans, this disc is valuable part of his lexicon.

I want to hear it again!.......2007-06-30

This CD was the best $$ I've spent in awhile! I like the modern/retro sounds and the strong songs. They have been described as having a Beatles sensibility, but the sound is more today than the '60s psychedelia that you may be expecting. Their Beatles cover tune (She Said, She Said) gives me some chills and just feels so right. Heard them do it live at CMJ--a stunner that blew us away! There is a rich motherload of original tunes on this CD with lots of cool references and a nice conglomeration of styles. There's a complexity and depth that demands repeated listening, but the sound has a compelling immediacy. I like it alot. It rocks! I saw the bonus video track on cable/on demand last fall, but the cable company took it off before the election...I wonder why?! It might just melt your face!

good 80's Metal.......2004-08-15

A good metalhead Belgian speed and power metal cd of the mid 80's. I had not really heard of the band until the reissue of 2 in 1 from Mausoleum Records "See you in Hell" and "Second Attack" I think the singer on this album went on to sing with the Belgian band Ostrogoth and Mystery and The German band Affair. Peter De Wint (not the famous painter) vocals are really outstanding on See you in Hell cd. Like all good metal bands things usually change for the worst. I do not think we well here any more in your face metal form Peter. He is preparing a self titled recording under Peter Qin melodic stuff? He tours sometimes with Glenn Hughes. If you are into hard rock keep a eye on him.
Cross Fire's first appearance was on the compilation Metal Glogs.
Keep it hard and heavy...............

Crossfire - 'See You In Hell/Second Attack' (Mausoleum).......2004-04-28

Holy crap!!I distinctly remember a neighbor of mine having the 'See You...' release on vinyl when it first came out,in 1984,on the Mausoleum label,mind you.After hearing all eight tracks,I was treated to some great old memories of as to how Crossfire was another one of those under rated/under appreciated metal bands.After experiencing(again) killer tunes like "Demon Of Evil","Magnificent Night","Fly High" and "Starchild",I was also reminded as to how their strong influences were most likely Krokus,Iron Maiden,Helloween,Saxon and Diamond Head.And then there's the bands second lp on this priceless 2-on-1 disc release,'Second Attack',which originally came out in 1985.As I was hearing,for the first time the tunes "Feeling Down","Atomic War" as well as the rest of the group's follow-up,I realized their 2nd lp was JUST as fierce as their 'See You...' metal masterpiece.This is the sort of music that makes you want to stay out late and smash up those mailboxes that stand by the curb.Most highly recommended.
