MelodicRock Classics dives back into the original MelodicRock Records catalogue for the fourth time to reissue an album long out of print, but still in high demand.Scherer/Batten – ‘Battlezone’ was one of the most acclaimed releases signed to MRR.

For this 2024 re-issue, MRC is offering the Battlezone Deluxe Edition, which gathers the original album plus a selection of rough mixes and demo versions, plus 2 additional unreleased writing demos, ‘Change Everything’ (from MRCD9) and the bonus track ‘Blue Letter’, which previously appeared on the MRR100 compilation release.

The arrival of any new VAN STEPHENSON music is met with huge anticipation. This release is just a little different from the norm, but no less exciting or musically brilliant. This is Van Stephenson, but with a little help from his friends.

As most will be aware, over the course of the last couple of years, I have been archiving Van’s vast collection of unreleased songs and demos. There are more than 500, covering all styles from 70s singer/songwriter, 80s AOR and pop to 90s country…and then some. The ultimate goal is to pay tribute to Van with some form of all-inclusive box set/s. During the co

“Coming Up To Consciousness” is Pure Reason Revolution’s sixth studio album, and the third of its post-hiatus renaissance that began with 2020’s “Eupnea” and continued in 2022’s “Above Cirrus”. Like those two predecessors, the new record is intensely personal.
