Release notes:

Highest Dream are from Brazil and the band centres around Riq Ferris and Leo
Mendes, two very talented people who have created a sound that has great
influences of renowned bands such as Toto, Journey, Kansas, Trillion, Asia
Survivor, Van Halen, Queen, Europe, Whitesnake, Pride of Lions, Def Leppard
among many others of the genre. If you want to hear pure melodic rock that
borders on pomp then look no further!

Keyboardist Leo Mendes made his first musical contact with the vocalist Riq
Ferris in a work named "Hardhits", a cover band playing hard rock and AOR songs
They recorded a demo CD, but the work didn t continue and the band broke up in
mid 2006. Before Highest Dream , Leo Mendes and Riq Ferris were part of many
projects. Leo worked as keyboardist, producer, musical director, arranger and
made several works with many artists. Also, he acted intensely in the musical
theatre scene of Rio de Janeiro

Riq sang in several rock bands and recorded several works, such as Sigma 5
Thotten, Snow, and as backing vocal of some artists such as Ted Poley, Joe Lynn
Turner and Tony Martin

In May 2008, Leo contacted Riq again and discussed their dreams. Both had
several songs and ideas in their personal collections, and that was enough to
start recording Highest Dream . All compositions and arrangements were made in
a very spontaneous and genuine way, without the intention to create something
biased. It was exactly the realization of all the musical influences that was
within each of them

The music on this debut CD is Melodic Rock and has all the hallmarks of the
eighties style sound with great guitar playing (using three great guitarists of
Rio de Janeiro: Marcelo Nami, John Cassio and Marcio Loureiro) and some
fantastic parping keyboards, courtesy of Leo himself. The result is an
astounding array of compositions that range from Asia-like keyboards to
Journeyesque melodies with some Kansas overtones

Truly this CD can be considered as a great achievement of talented musicians who
were born with the true essence of rock in their veins.
