Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to annouNce a new deal with Danish westcoast master Michael Kratz, for the release of a special 3CDs digipack combo titled "Live Your LIVE". This gorgeous package contains the first official live recording from the artist, plus the awaited remastered reissue of his hard to find first album "Cross That Line", now available with three exclusive bonus tracks. Recorded live in Denmark in 2017 / 2018, and filmed for TV by DK4, "Live Your LIVE" shares the magic captured by a talented band of established professionals, expertly led by Michael's charismatic presence and unmistakable voice. Brilliantly mixed by Kasper Viinberg and Michael himself @ Kawer Studios, and mastered by Torben Lysholm @ SnakeRock, the 2CDs live set represents a very pleasant experience for the listener, perfectly assembled to recreate the real mood and true emotions of a night to remember. 



Michael says: "I am so proud to be able to share these live recordings with my fans. With an audience. That concert was a dream of mine - a dream to get it on TV, and those dreams came true. After all the hard work of writing, composing, recording, rehearsing… all of the things that a musician loves to do - but also something that can be extremely hard and difficult to be made at your best. To make it all come together. A magical evening it was. I hope that you will enjoy listening to these songs as much as I have enjoyed making them come to live".

Completing the digipack combo is the remastered reissue of Michael's first studio album "Cross That Line", now proposed to the fans with three quality bonus tracks: the unreleased "Evil Rumours", the Christmas single "If This Is Christmas", and the magnificent "Dragging Me Outside" (released digitally last July), which marked the first official studio collaboration between Michael Kratz and his skilled label mates in Art Of Melody MusicMindfeels. "Live Your LIVE" is going to be a great experience for all the fans of classy AOR/Westcoast music, printed in a very limited collectors' editition of 500 copies worldwide. Graphics have been provided by Aeglos Art (Raintimes, Airbound, Room Experience, Firmo), while a special personalized edition have been created appositely by Outward Styles in a very limited quantity of 25 copies. The release is scheduled on December 7, 2018 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group, with an official release event on December 1, 2018 @ Dedolor Music Headquarter (Rovellasca - CO / ITALY), in occasion of the first "Burning Minds Music Group Party".
