    Move over Europe. Move over Journey. Here comes Fair Exchange, a dynamic five-piece from Buena Park, California with a BIG commercial sound. Just about every cut on this album belongs on MTV. Keyboards, guitar effects, backup vocals, vocal layering, it's all there. The feel is positive, in general, with quite a few songs directed toward God's relationship with us, from His perspective. Bright production and packaging bring this project to completion. I recommend this music for anyone who enjoys exhilarating, yet non-threatening music. They're a noteworthy, relatable pop outfit. For ordering info, write: PO Box 21, Buena Park CA 90621.
