He left hand in early 1989, however, and founded Gamma Ray with vocaliser Ralf Scheepers (former with Tyran Pace). The duo intended to record a one-off project that Hansen originated patch in Helloween, so they recruited bassist Uwe Wessel, drummer Matthias Burchardt and various other musicians. The album, Head for Tomorrow, was released in 1990 and proven a hit with fans and critics, so very practically so that Hansen, Scheepers and Wessel decided to circuit the record album with added members Dirk Schlacter (guitar) and Uli Kusch (drums). During the turn the Heaven Can Wait EP was released. By 1991, Gamma Ray produced some other album of new material, entitled Sigh No More. Following 1993's Insanity and Genius, vocaliser Scheepers gone to try out for Judas Priest; he didn't ready the gig, merely opted to shape a fresh band called Primal Fear rather than rejoin to the bend, departure Hansen to exact over vocal duties on 1995's Land of the Free. Further recordings with Hansen as atomic number 82 vocaliser followed, including 1997's Somewhere Out in Space, 1998's Valley of the Kings, and 1999's Power Plant. Crucify from the Past was released in 2000. Gamma Ray returned to a raging New Wave of British Heavy Metal style for 2001's No World Order, and followed that album with the live limit Skeleton in the Closet. Gamma Ray returned in 2005 with Majestic, the button of which was attended by a reality tour. |

The Whitlams years
TIM Freedman is proud of his work, but admits not all the songs have come up trumps, James Wigney writes.
Tim Freedman's appraisal of his career when compiling The Best of the Whitlams collection was much like the man - frank and unsentimental.
As the sole surviving founding member of one of the country's most successful and reliable bands, Freedman has good reason to bask in the glory of six albums and a string of hits such as No Aphrodisiac, Blow Up the Pokies and Fall For You.
But proud as he is of the 20 tracks on the compilation, and plenty that didn't make it, the singer/songwriter/pianist admits there are a good few stinkers in the back catalogue as well.
"There are always one or two songs on an album that are misfires," he says.
"The third track on Eternal Nightcap is a shocker. It's called Love is Everywhere and I can't believe that album did so well when it had such a stinking piece of failed pop on it.
"I'm not a huge fan of my stuff - I think I have had my moments - I think I have had some great phrases, but I haven't reinvented the wheel musically."
