For those of you who may not know it, GAMMA RAY is Kai Hansen's band. And Kai Hansen was the brain behind HELLOWEEN, the band the practically "invented" european power / melodic metal, with the albums KEEPER OF SEVEN KEYS I and II, back in 1988. AFter that, Hansen left the band due to commercial pressures upon him, and formed Gamma Ray.

This double set is good at sometimes, but listening to it back to back may be a little bit annoying, due to the sheer speed of a lot of the songs and that usual double kick drumming all the way.... Also, Hansen is not a singer at all. He's a guitarist that sings. That's very different.

Anyway, the re-recorded songs sound good and improved.
