Grand illusion - the book of how to make it
The book of how to make it
The big change. Changing name from Promotion to Grand Illusion. Skipping the horn section and and instead increase the guitars
seemed to be a good thing. This albums is the break for the band. Suddenly the
the pieces fell to place under there new band name Grand Illusion. Burrn Magazine in Japan give it 94 points and there were also a lot of great reviews in Europe.
This album also marks a significant change with Peter starting to sing higher than he ever would have dreamed of himself. From now the band also put a lot more work into the background vocals, to create what's since then have been the Grand Illusion signum; massive big background vocals.
