I fully confess that I went behind the backs of my'Alternative Black Metal' friends, sitting as we did in a suburban flat listening to Danzig and Einstürzende Neubauten. 'Cause when I got home i parked myself infront of the hottest thing there was back then, 1989 - MTV Music channel. This with the sole hope of catching the video to "Rainbow child" by Dan Reed Network. Certified American 'RadioRock' at it's best. Dan Reed Network made the world charts with that song and the album Slam and the multi-ethnic funkrock-band was especially well received in Sweden. Now the frontman Dan Reed is back. Back, after losing his love of music in a black hole of destructivity, back after a couple of monks in a temple in Dharamsala asked him to teach them the song ”Pow pow tsch! Pow pow tsch!”. The intro to Queens "We Will Rock You" was the path back to his love of music. It's now been four years since he started writing songs again, but 17 years since he last played in Sweden. 17 long years and an acoustic gig with a steel-stringed guitar on the Rockclassics-stage at the Sweden Rock festival. It would be strange if he had any higher expectations. It would be strange if he wasn't expecting to get overrun by mangeling electric guitars, evil death metal-growls and the clatter of double bass drums. When the concert is over Dan Reed has been called back three times by an audience that will not say goodbye. When the concert is over grown men all around me has, weepingly, been singing along in song about finding oneself in faith and love. The audience has from square one formed a compact wall of warmth towards this, since 17 years, eagerly awaited artist. And it is well deserved. That incomparable voice has preserved its wondrous way if reaching inside you. A voice that evoked an unreserved and deafening reception of the introductory "Cruise together”, followed by ”Losing my fear” and an overvhelming ”Rainbow child”. As if that wasn't enough Dan Reed then continues with a tribute to Ronnie James Dio through a beautifly somber version af the icons "Holy Diver". After the song a quick glance towards heaven with his hands in prayer, a greeting and then the cheering of the audience. He ends each song with a powerful blow to the strings of the guitar, clamps his teeth looking almost tormented, backs away from the microphone with one hand over his heart, looking very moved by the audiences reception of him. It seems to be only by delivering the next song he can keep his emotions in check, the way to burst into yet another smile.. And the next song, and nex...Getting the same response every time. ”Coming up for air”, ”Long way to go”, ”Closer”, ”Ritual”, ”Brave new world”, ”The salt of joy”, ”Stronger than steel”, ”All my lovin'”, ”On your side”. Old song or new the result is always the same; The wall of warmth intact!" -Lisa Appelqvist 06/11/2010: See Dan on TV4 Play, Sweden

Order INDUSTRY REVIEWS - Dan Reed comes blinking back into the light with a collection of songs that are both reflective and resolute. Gone are the rock star trappings and tigers in a dress, this Dan Reed is reaching for higher things, irresistible questions about life and love, the matter that fills the spaces in-between; that makes us up. Coming Up For Air is beautifully realised, downbeat, rueful and true.... Phil Wilding, Mojo/6 Music Compared to his rhythmically-charged days fronting the Network, Reed the solo artist aims less for groin-level and below, seeking - and attaining - a more cerebral connection. This is a gorgeous, enchanting collection of tunes... Dave Ling, Classic Rock Listened to the new album for the first time this morning and I can tell you it was well worth the long wait! I, like the next man, love a good hard rockin' tune but for me music has always meant far more than that. From start to finish I found it heart warming, enlightening, honest, and very, very real. Some of the songs that you did acoustically for the show are already like old friends, and the rest of the album is quite simply a joy to listen to. It's great to have you back doing what you do best..... Paul Anthony, Rock Radio Manchester Dan Reed is a man who understands and appreciates the depth and value of a song. On Coming Up For Air (Zerone), he presents a mature, sensitive collection of ideas and ideals. It's beautifully crafted and has true emotional impact. Perhaps far removed from the Network days, but time has given Reed increased value....Malcolm Dome, Classic Rock/Total Rock Radio
LISTENER'S REVIEWS Mike Collins - received my copy of "coming up for air" today. Sonically and songwise it's amazing! Such great textures that compliment outstanding tunes. Serena Nunn Thanks Dan for CD, well worth the wait, the band sounds good and there a couple oftracks I hadn't heard, lyrics and music are great, made me listen and think. Mike Brierley - My cd finally arrived this morning! I had high expectations and it hasn't disappointed! I was about to go on a trip up to Leeds so my first listen was in the car with the windows down in the glorious sunshine cruising through lovely countryside with beautiful views. Ideal! I had goosebumps on numerous occasions! In particular while listening to 'On your side', which is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! I'd obviously heard most of the songs a few times live but now I have the cd I can connect with and appreciate them even more! Thank you so much for making music again! Shari A. Hellyer Dan, the privilleged album "Coming Up For Air" arrived today. Polished perfection - thank you. Diamond Rock - Well Dan, the CD finally arrived on Saturday, and what can I say, was it worth the wait ? Every second. It's a magnificent piece of work, truly AWESOME. On Sunday, quite a few of the regulars, gathered at The Diamond for a listening party Over a few sherberts we must have played it 10 times in a row, and still the people were wanting more. It's one of the most complete works I've heard Drew - Amazing Album Dan... I love to put it on in the morning. The message is so hopeful. The collection of songs really hold together. It is cool to hear the Great Dictator in great fidelity. Thanks for all your effort in peace. Karol Lomas Received my CD today in UK...Love it!! Beautiful melodies and lyrics to make you think. Rob Collier To lovers of pure music, go to http://www.danreed.com/ and get his new CD "coming up for air". If it doesn't fill you with Love, Peace and Happiness, seek help. I will be listening to this for a long time to come. I also encourage you to see him when he comes near or to your town. Jimmy Dyer I got the CD last Friday. I didn't know what to expect really. After the first listen, I was happy that the CD was what I had hoped it would be. As I have changed over the years, Dan Reed has as well. I hope your tour gets close to Indiana. Warren Clayton Dan, we knew this album would be good, just didn't realise it would be THIS GOOD! Its awesome. Your talent is stronger than ever. Carolyne Jackson - My friend Mel Toms, gave me a copy of your new CD for my birthday (for my birthday 2008) and it was very much worth the wait indeed. The songs are filled with warmth, light and love and that floods into the room when I listened to it. It's a mature album, you have really blossomed. Thank you for such a wonderful album, it has not left my player for days.... In cynical times it is wonderful to hear a positive spin on the world. It is rare when a whole album lifts your spirits and transports you to a place where nothing is impossible and you can share the love you have in your heart. Some words are important, the words on this album are some of those words. Terrie Harris Got my CD yesterday.... thanks so much, have missed your voice - and your voice - for years. :-) great songs, beautiful energy!! Thank you! Mark Smith Love the new album Dan. The wait.... well its truly forgotten now. The music is as ever simply the best. Great to get 'the dictator' as well. Such a powerful speech written into song so well. Take care Dan - all the best, Mark for Glasgow.
