El Dorado Hotel on CD

The iconic symphonic rock vocalist returns after a 4-year hiatus After a four-year break since her last album, Lana Lane is back with her most powerful release to date, 'El Dorado Hotel.' The veteran symphonic rock diva delivers a 10-song tour-de-force of finely crafted original tracks in an audiophile production by husband/keyboardist, Erik Norlander. 'El Dorado Hotel' hosts Lane's usual broad spectrum of musical styles and genres with a cohesiveness that fans of the artist will recognize instantly. The opener, 'A Dream Full of Fire,' is a new Lana Lane classic that blurs the line between prog metal and jazz stylings in a melange that only she can deliver. 'Maybe We'll Meet Again' is a European-styled melodic AOR radio anthem blending classic rock with modern sensibilities. The song, 'El Dorado,' is a Lana Lane epic with a soaring chorus reminiscent of her classic, 'Queen of Ocean.' The robust 'Darkness Falls' introduces an Irish folk style combined with a gothic metal element with it's haunting choral vocals and arena-crafted chorus. Then 'Hotels' is an acoustic track that evokes jazz standards like 'Autumn Leaves.' The tracks, 'Believe,' 'Life of the Party,' 'Gone Are The Days' and 'Moon God' add further threads to the 'El Dorado Hotel' tapestry. The album closes with the 11-1/2 minute opus, 'In Exile' that producer Erik Norlander describes as a 'vintage progressive rock epic.'
