New Life - now in 2 disc special edition
'Listening to Morning Light as I travel across
the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the sun rises over the top of the Opera
House. Couldn't think of a better soundtrack.Thanks for the great music'

Some seven years after the band split (not counting
an all-hands-on-deck one-off reunion in 1986), a fair number of double-takes
were occasioned by the unheralded appearance of New Life in the mail order
lists of GFT and other specialist music dealers. But it was, indeed, more
than a mere flashback – Solstice had resurfaced.
With Andy Glass at the controls, the production was much closer to the
live sound than on Silent Dance, with a fuller dynamic doing justice to
bassist Craig Sunderland, adding depth and power to the stage favourites
that hadn’t made it onto the debut. The lavish swathes of keyboards
are still present, but Marc Elton’s violin is more prominent, blending
with Andy’s guitar to frame Heidi Kemp’s commanding vocals.
