Review by Windhawk
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator
3 stars The EP "Victims of Love" is the third production issued by Malta based act Different Strings, and somewhat unusual for a regular release from an artist it is also a relief album, where the income will go to help the family of artist Noel Cauchi, who died in a tragic accident in 2009.

Of the four songs featured on this EP, the first two are presented in versions edited for radio. Which is very suitable, as both compositions comes across as efforts with strong commercial aspirations. Time and Again is a light symphonic number with a few nods towards the more sophisticated works of The Beatles, while the title track Victims of Love is a well made ballad with a powerful chorus and added sophistication in the shape of a lush symphonic backdrop.

Closing up this EP are two light symphonic instrumental efforts, lush and dreamy affairs of the kind that doesn't really make an immediate impact, but with a certain timeless quality to them that will make you listen to them time and again if you are in the mood for daydreaming or listening to relaxing but sophisticated music.

It was also a pleasant surprise to discover that the production is of good quality this time around, one of the aspects which was a negative on the full album debut by this act.

All in all a nice effort, and one that can be highly recommended to proggers with a soft spot for radio-friendly music.
