Besides touring and recording with Little River Band, Peter found time to master many other fine accomplishments during the 90's. He released his first, and only, solo cd on Curb Records, self titled Beckett. This cd stood out as a classic of its time, offering a collection of pure AOR songs, released at a time when really good AOR albums were hard to find. The cd featured many outstanding musicians, such as Wayne Nelson, Dan Huff, Danny Johnson, Dennis Lambert, and Dave Amato, to name a few. Beckett, showed more of a harder rock edge with 'I Told You So', 'My Religion', and 'Brother Louie', but also brought the mood down with 'The Bottom Line', 'Hanging By A Thread', and 'Still Of the Night'. 'My Religion'was a favorite of Peter's and he was surprised to find out it was a minor hit in Germany and Japan, while he was touring with Little River Band at the time. He had no intention of touring to promote the BECKETT CD, but it did quite well and still is a favorite among AOR fans today. 'Brother Louie' was released in the US as a single.

The sound recalls to the ALIEN days but with an updated sound and in a more edgy way. The voice of Jim Jidhed sounds stronger than ever and his powerful and emotional performances are the cherry on top.

British AOR outfit has been away for quite some time but now guitar player Vince O’Reagan (BOB CATLEY, LEGION) starts a new version of the band including a new line-up. It’s a collection of re-recorded and freshly produced songs from earlier ESCAPE records and some of his solo stuff as well as two songs previously recorded by BOB CATLEY but written by O’Reagan (“Blinded By A Lie“ and “Walk On Water“). Everything is typical British AOR with lots of majestic keyboards but also with balls or in other words, sharp guitars. If you dig the likes of TEN, NEWMAN or SERPENTINE, you can’t go wrong here.

Now 15 years later, the duo return with a new album entitled “Guilty As Sin” So has anything changed? The answer is an unsurprising big fat no. “Guilty As Sin” is, more of the same. Twelve well crafted songs, full of rich harmonies and gorgeous layered Keyboards with some stunning guitar playing.

Against The Grain by the reformed UK AOR-sters After Hours. Now I say unexpected because this is a band that have been defunct for just a little under a quarter of a century with their last release coming in the shape of their debut effort Take Off from 1988! AOR Heaven have also reissued that album and on the strength of Against The Grain, it is an album I'll be investing in sharpish! The After Hours story goes all the way back to 1987, but after that debut release things started to really build for them, with European tours, appearances on German TV and a sponsorship deal with Adidas. However keyboard player Rick Young soon left the band, being replaced by ex Michael Schenker man Andy Nye, but with record labels dragging the band round the world to record album number two After Hours basically disintegrated, although that second release Afterhours did see the light of day in 1992.

Serpentine return with their third album, a lineup change and a change in sound that makes for their strongest album to date. First up is new member Adam Payne who takes the reigns on vocal duties on this album after previous frontman, the well known Tony Mills, departed the band. Payne’s vocals are completely different from Mills’ which alone give this album a much different sound then the band’s previous releases. Secondly bassist Gareth Vanstone has also departed the band and in his place behind the drumkit is Owen Crawford, who does a great job on the record.
