GNP-Safety Zone (1989)

In 1986 the members of Saga; Jim Gilmour and Steve Negus, left the band to form the group GNP (initials of Gilmour Negus Project), next to the singer Robert Bevan.
Their only album "Safety Zone" was released in 1989 and unlike the progressive rock of Saga, the group is oriented towards more commercial sounds with an AOR in a vein to what contemporary bands like Toto or Journey did at the time. However even so, you can still sense certain sounds inherited from Saga, such as great keyboards, a very polished sound and great addictive melodies. Gilmour's skills become the highlight of this album, with the melodic voice of singer Robert Bevan.
