Forcefield were a studio-based �super-group� made up of well known UK-based musicians. For the second album Jan Akkerman was added to provide some much-needed drive. This album is weak in places although Jan does his best to lift it, especially with his solo on an otherwise limp version of the Deep Purple classic �Black night�.

The opening track is an excellent guitar led instrumental where Jan shines but it is down hill until the last track, which is a stunner. Jan starts on acoustic before switching to the electric for a searing guitar instrumental, and is well backed by Cozy Powell and the band.

Buy the instrumental compilation, which has the best tracks on it.
