English translation: Tomi Ohtake
Original Japanese version: see below

The LA based songwriting team of Arno Verstappen and Allison Lindsay recorded this album with the help of studio musicians.

Originally from Holland, guitarist Arno came to the United States where he received his degree at GIT. After deciding to stay in LA, Arno hooked up with vocalist and songwriting partner Allison Lindsay.

"Acoustic Universe" features experienced studio musicians who have played with the likes of Steve Vai, Alice Cooper and Cheryl Crow.

This album is packed with powerful female vocals that are blended with acoustic sounds and a folk vibe. The fluent, melodic vocal lines are supported by the band's subtle yet solid and effortless performances.

This reminds me of Heart's acoustic album. Not too nasty and not too nice.
