| I'm interested in getting this one day. Anyone recommend it?

| Hey TIM. I most highly recommend this CD! This is one of my all time favorite Scandinavian AOR albums. All 10 tracks are outstanding songs. These guys are often compared to Fate, Da Vinci, Stage Dolls, Tindrum, and Treat (Dreamhunter). I would say they sound the most like Fate with the ballads of Da Vinci, but most definitely comparable to most Scandinavian AOR bands. I wish you the best of luck finding this CD. Metal 4 Life

| This album will be reissued this year I believe

| From: TIM |
Date: October 29, 2003 at 14:31 |
| It's already been reissued. One was just on Ebay. Two originals are there now and one outrageously-priced one is on Gemm.com. The band is now called Huldra. The email is: www.huldrarecords.no . An interview can be found here: http://www.angelfire.com/ma/strutteraor/HULDRAINTERVIEW.htm . I hear only 1,000 reissued copies were made, so I suggest you AOR fanatics get it while you can.

| From: TIM |

| By the way, not saying the Gemm cd was not worth that at one time, but not with the reissue. The reissue is limited though.

| To purhase this cd, go to either http://www.huldrarecords.no/ or http://rockofnorway.com/ . I think only a thousand pressings were made. Your best chance to spare your wallet for sure.

| From: TIM |
Date: November 18, 2003 at 12:02 |
| By the way, the reissue has a bonus track, bonus video, and is digitally remastered.

| Yea.. finally I got the reissue with bonus track & video! I like the most the "mainstream" ballad TAKE ME BACK who has a lot of emotions to offer. At times I think the rockers are a little bit too slow and don't completely catch your breath. Due to the consistent 80s scandi rock with a lots of keys and melodies that reminds on EUROPE -the comparision with DA VINCI is as well clever- I give it a 7,5 (almost 8) out of 10!

| I don't know where is the comparison with Tyketto or Firehouse here,maybe Strangeways but this guys are in my opinion very original and particular.I thought to listen the same scandi aor cd and I had a surprise.Heaven are similar to bands like Europe and Da Vinci(Stage Dolls,too)but they play a pure and awesome aor!!Great usin'of keys,perfect mix between catchy choruses and very good voice,it's easy to remember many of their refrains and that's a very positive thing!!One of best scandi aor band!

| I have listened to this cd again. Its ok but to me there is not a real killer tune to be found. Nothing really memorable. Nevertheless good aor. 7/10

| Erik,those are different likings,It's good that we have different points of VU.I sung the song"take me back"for 3 days,my mother wanted callin'the neuro!ahahahaha!!and I love songs as"angelina","lonely rider"and"out of my life"(sung durind my dinner last evening!ahahah!).Erik,I find somethin'special and different in this band but,every guy has its likings...

Very true Z4roxx. All coments are about personal likings. And this one just didnot do it for me. Therefor its good people can express the feelings they have with a particular song or band here at HH. Another oldie for example i like much more is Rat Bat Blue 
|
| From: z4roxx |
Date: January 26, 2005 at 14:51 |
| Yes Erik,just personal likings and feelings,too!I love this band and for me every track is killer and I can well remember every thier refrains!Yeah Erik,listened not to much months ago Rat Bat Blue again,very good scandi aor with an original poppy basements sometimes,"gypsy heart"awesome!!!If you like Rat Bat Blue you can absolutely get(if you don't have)FINGERPRINTS/time is all we need,maybe the greatest pop/aor cd ever heard...regards!!

| z4roxx i dont know about that band called Fingerprint. Are they scandi also ? And r they really that good ? Hmm i want that cd then !!
|
| From: z4roxx |
Date: January 27, 2005 at 13:54 |
| Erik,Fingerprints are a swedish trio,only cd maden was"time is all we need"(1989,sonet).On ebay is too high.If you like Rat Bat Blue or some bands in that vein you'll be shocked by Fingerprints!Take care!

| Erik,I can recommend you also Big Talk,another scandi-trio from Sweden if I remember.Amazing aor with some pop touch,really a good 7 tracks....you find it in the site for other comments I think
|
| From: TIM (2) |
Date: March 22, 2005 at 4:02 |
| IMO the bands mentioned above (FINGERPRINTS & BIG TALK) are streets ahead of this disc. I have the re-issue of this and would've been annoyed at paying the high price of the original. It is quite typical Scandi sounding, like early Europe or latter-day Treat, but just doesn't have the songs IMO. I'd rate it alongside the overrated STORMWING & EAST COAST discs as an okay AOR release. There are an awful lot of discs you should own before bothering with this one IMHO. 7/10.

| Good AOR/Melodic Rock album, buen album y como no del 89 como diria robert, al estilo de sus hermanos talk of the town, stage dolls o harlot osea el AOR o Rock Melodico mas calmado de tierras de Thor, buenos temas Don't Stop Me Now, One More Night, Another Way, Angelina, Lonely Rider si te gusta lo escandinavo como a mi este es una buena adquisicion a tu coleccion.

| this is perfect scandi melodic rock. and imo it´s as good as dalton, treat and other acts. very good vocals, great keys and all catchy chorusses. "sinners" is one of the 5 best ever scandi tracks. an absolute must!! 9/10
|
| From: davinci1989 |
Date: April 21, 2005 at 4:32 |
| That's as good as Dalton,Treat,Europe,Da Vinci, Alien etc... The song "take me back" is pure magic !

Easily one of the best AOR albums of all time What did haunt me as I rated this just 7,5   SHAME on myself!!!  The first spinnings it sounded like mediocre pop/rock to me most probably, well now I'm absolutely amazed. 9,5/10. Not just the ballad "Take me back" but all the others ("Don't stop me now", "Sinners", "Broken Wings"..) are sensational. And the bonus track of the reissue "Children of our time" is not bad either  DA VINCI & FROM THE FIRE stuff at its best

| hi-from COSTARICA,para empezar yo tambien tengo este disquito escandinavo de los noruegos HEAVEN,remasterizado,original y como si fuera poco autografiado PARA QUE LES DUELA A TODOS ha como no traido desde europa de donde se me suple con el mejor rock melodico (perdon por mi arrogancia)pero asi es la cosa.yo digo es un disquito muy demasiado discreto,algo poperillo,tranquilon si esa fuese la palabra adecuada.nada que ver con el estilo de T N T-STAGE DOLLS-DA VINCI-RETURN como mencionaron algunos
|
| From: mauricio |
Date: December 27, 2005 at 16:19 |
| que comentaron dicho disco.no obstante solo escucha la apertura de LET GO muy lenta,algo blusera.TAKE ME BACK una bonita baladita,DONT STOP ME NOW uno de los temas mas destacables del disco,pero las guitarras carecen de fuerza en todo el disco.SINNERS,LONELY RIDER,ANGELINA forman parte del aor mas discreto,lo mismo que ONE MORE NIGHT lo mas discreta y melodica,quizas los que hubiese tenido este disco seria unos coros mas fuertes.BROKEN WINGS otra baladita,OUT OF MY LIFE otro tema tranquilo

| lo mismo con ANOTHER WAY que cierra el album Y el bonus track CHILDREN OF OUR TIME suena bien pero muy discreto.y que decir el video TAKE ME BACK no esta mal pero de este grupo yo me esparaba mucho mas por parte de los hermanos PEDERSEN Y en mi opinion es un buen disquillo pero no para echar cohetes.para mi este es un disco de soft-aor.apesar de ser un grupo mega raro del cual se vendieron en su momento solo 8000 copias.una cifra muy pero muy baja lo cual amerita quedarse en casa que vender eso

| I agree with those who commented that it's a good AOR release but nothing spectacular. As a few other said, it's pretty consistent/solid but just doesn't have the songs. "Take Me Back" is good and the highlight of the album for me. A few other decent ones. Vocals are nice but a little too limited for my taste. Good guitar though. Just a shame it's lacking a bit with vocals and the caliber of songs. Overall, a solid melodic AOR effort that has some decent tunes. 72/100

| Pretty nice release..nice and catchy songs...in general lines,the type of album that for us AOR lovers is enjoyable from head to toes ,"Let Go" is such a solid starter,hooks u up immediately,"Take Me Back" a nice ballad,"Don`t Stop Me Now" is a very attractive AOR song,a highlight 4 sure,"Lonely Rider" has pretty good choruses,a fine AOR track too,"One More Night" is a smoothie one,"Out Of My Life" is a highlight itself and "Childrem Of Our Time" that is not listed in the tracks(#11 )is a nice song with a realistic message,a warning to our society...a good choice if u buy it!.87/100

| Beautiful CD. This is really unique-sounding scandi-AOR. It almost seems to have a kind of Celtic flavour to it. I really treasure this one. It's a shame they didn't do another one. 95/100

| I've changed the rating to 100. It's bloody awesome - if you're into the sound!

| pretty good release for HEAVEN back in 89 with their sound being somewhere between DA VINCI and EASY ACTION with strong keyboard dose and fine melodic lines here and there ,just not blowminding!the songs are ok and there are some catchy ones like "children of our time" and "anglelina" or "lonely rider"!Norway bands always delivering the goods
