One would expect that when Julian Beeston left Nitzer Ebb before their final
album "Big Hit", he did so because he didn't agree with the radical musical
shift of the band's music. Yet, when one listens to the debut album of
Julian's solo project Shining, all you hear is music that would have worked as
a second half of the Nitzer Ebb death knell album. The Rock influences are
numerous, the Pop lyrics and ballads all scream for this album to be the staple
of commercial radio. In fact, not a single track album fits the
standard Electro-Industrial model. Every song is best compared to bands like
Gravity Kills, Machines of Loving Grace and Stabbing Westward, Rock music with
keyboards, making Shining more than a bit of a disappointment.
