Advantages: Great pop/rock from US masters and re-issued with missing tracks Disadvantages: Some fillers and most prefer the previous release 'Escape'
I remember being bored one cold winters day in March of '83 and, plucking up the courage to face the wind and snow, decided to 'journey' to the local library in the hope of some 'escape'. The library had just started hiring out music which was a bit of a misnomer as all they usually stocked were things that you'd either never heard of or stuff that you would never dare take out in case some friend of yours happened to be standing behind you.

Advantages: An excellent introduction to Journey Disadvantages: None
Journey are a band I have grown to like more and more over the last 3 or 4 years. The only song I really knew by them was the ballad 'Open Arms' which has been covered by a few artists including Mariah Carey.
I really liked this song and downloaded another ballad by them titled 'Faithfully' which I often listened to on my pc.

I decided to buy their greatest hits album after seeing it on Ebay at a bargain price, and it has became one of my most played albums.
THE BAND :
Journey are an American rock band who formed in 1973 with former members of Santana, but they have undergone a few line ...

If you like point and click Adventure games and have not tried this one, you have a real treat in store for you. A cross between Science Fiction and Fantasy, it was released to not a lot of fanfare, and I actually didn?t hear of this game until about three years ...
