Album Notes

heartscore is the pseudonym for the person behind this studio-project that doesn’t care about commercial rules. heartscore sets poems to music with the result of the poems’ structure affecting the music. therefore the music could be called progressive while following the tradition of rock. on the other hand heartscore composes with a classical approach, because he is a classical trained musician. he thinks about every note that will be played, he writes a score. when all is perfect he selects other musicians and realises the new work. at the end the combination of poems, rock and classical composing becomes something new.

Do you have in mind a band that doesn’t care about sales, commercial rules...
author: Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal - E - Zine
                            
His name is Dirk Radloff and this will be the platform for his musical vision. Heartscore means a studio-project, a virtual band, therefore He try to promote it on this way. Perhaps you want to know, what He looks like, what He has done before and what will come. Do you have in mind a band that doesn’t care about sales, commercial rules... just about the music. Well, I present you Heartscore. In their second CD, they present a mix of Rock, Metal, Jazz and some Progressive elements. It’s not easy to understand the ideas of songs like “God Lay Dead” or “Long John Brown And The Little Mary Bell”, but if you pay attention carefully, you’ll discover an interesting project, and a good rock band. If I had to associate them with an classical band, I would say they’re a mix of "The Clash" and "The Sisters of Mercy", as you can see in “Anyone”, the mid-tempo blues “The Schoolboy”, and the complex “Her Eyes”. To finish this good work, an beautiful ballad, called “The Day Is Gone”. You must pay attention to this people... because it’s not an easy record... but I’m sure you will like it. Greetings to Dirk Radloff - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Violin, Lead Vocals, Choir, Tim Warweg - Drums and Stefan Platte - Piano, Trumpet and Keys. "Straight To The Brain" all music was composed, arranged, and produced by Dirk Radloff, including 12 Tracks, playing time: 57:34 - Label: Heart Score Music - Year: 2004...
