Daniel J - Losing Time (CD)
Progrock 0837792009283

Genre: Melodic Metal
Recorded: 2003
Released: 2004

Discovered by Jordan Rudess, guitarist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Daniel J (Daniel Jakubovic) has been one of melodic rock?s best-kept secrets, until now. His music is a plethora of AOR, prog, and dark riving melodic metal present to infuse J?s music with pop melodies and catchy hooks, complimented by his guitar playing and overall musical skills, not to mention that his pal, Rudess makes an occasional appearance on this record. Musically, ?Losing Time? combines the sound of Racer X and Dream Theater, with the more sophisticated pop of Last Autumn?s Dream and Harem Scarem, bringing hard-edged tracks such as ?Theories in Her Head,? ?Replaced,? and the groove laden ?Save Me? to the rock forefront; but it is with cuts such as ?Innocence,? ?All the Same for You? (complete with sax solo), and ?Out of Reach? where J?s knack for emotional pop balladry is in full force, offering a counterweight to the heavy structuring that encompasses most of the record. On our hands we have a melodic rock album that thrives to be heard for those who long for great pop styled hard rock to be heard; quite impressive.
