	Amazon.com: Reviews for The Unexpected: Music: Beautiful Sin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Kusch must have wanted to find other ways to express himself, as he teamed up with Axel Mackenrott on keys from Masterplan, Pagan's Mind members Steinar Krokmo and Jorn Viggo Lofstad on bass and guitars respectively, and last but not least the amazing female vocalist Magali Luyten.
		Even though this album is meant to be a departure from the previous efforts of Uli Kusch, in many ways, it's just a more keyboard-driven version of his recent output with Masterplan.
		Mackenrott's synths are all over the place, and aside from the few songs where he delves into deep experiments, the music could be described as a melodic metal release with some serious hard rock leanings, plus modern production values to boot.

	[No title]
		Beautiful Sin is a side project from Uli Kusch (drummer of Masterplan) with Belgian singer Magali Luyten.
		(Axel Mackenrott from Masterplan is also in the band.) Their sound is basically like that of a more melodic version of Masterplan.
		If anything it resembles a heavier sounding instrumental song that had some commercial success in the 80s like an 'Axel F' or maybe stuff by Herbie Hancock.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY MARCEL HASTER
		The progressive elements are supplied by Grapow, with his melodic riffs, and in lesser way by Mackenrott.
		The keyboard play is a bit scarce, and in many occasions it just fills, or is used in intros.
		A pity, for if Mackenrott got more room, the sound of Masterplan would be even better!

		Keyboarder Axel Mackenrott called attention as a member of various cover bands such as "Catch The Rainbow" (Rainbow cover band), "Machine Head" (Deep Purple cover band) and with his own band "Punch TV".
		When Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch make up their Masterplan in 2002, and have Jorn, Jan and Axel joining in, they can only hope that their idea of teamworking can be realised.
		What they definitely can't foresee in these days is, how much energy they are able to set free with their debut.

	Masterplan - Masterplan - Music Reviews
		In fact, we're six tracks in before the first (and thankfully last) unbearably cheesy chorus ("We're the heroes of a new world!" -- ugh!) surfaces by way of "Heroes," but this proves to be the only serious offender on an otherwise excellent effort.
		Incidentally, keyboards courtesy of Axel Mackenrott also do their part, taking an active part in the proceedings while rarely overwhelming them inconveniently.
		Delivering on the promised of their E.P., this debut bodes well for the band's future.

	MetalBite - Heavy Metal Webzine - Tracks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Four very well known and accomplished musicians, as well as a stranger to the scene, have created an incredibly good debut album.
		Made up of two guys from Helloween; guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch (who happen to be the composers of most of the material), former bass player from Iron Savior, Jan S. Eckert, Axel Mackenrott on keyboards (the only stranger) and last but not least, Jorn Lande, one of today's best male vocalist around.
		Now, if you are not too hot for Power metal, you might disregard this album as being just another side project from a couple of ex-Power metal musicians doing another Power metal album.

		Keyboard-player Axel Mackenrott called attention as a member of various cover bands, such as Catch The Rainbow (Rainbow cover band), Machine Head (Deep Purple cover band), and with his own band Punch TV.
		Vocalist Jørn Lande has made a name for himself world-wide as front man with Ark and Jorn, among others.
		It most likely will be found once again, when this year is over, at one of the top3 spots on my top 20 list of 2005's releases.

	Deadtide.com : Reviews : Albums : Masterplan, "Aeronautics"
		This second offering from Masterplan has been out for quite awhile now and I've been listening to it for ages trying to make up my mind about it.
		If you're unfamiliar with the band, it consists of ex-Helloween guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch along with vocalist Jorn Lande, keyboardist Axel Mackenrott and bassist Jan S. Eckert.
		Lande's vocals are superlative; he has a rich, mid-ranged rasp but can reach the upper registers with ease when necessary.

	Beautiful Sin - Official Helloween Messageboard

		Beautiful Sin is a melodic metal band, and features Magalis dynamical and charismatic voice.The album was recorded in 2005 in Belgium and Norway and mixed by Tommy Hansen at Jailhouse Studios in Denmark.
		The energetic bonustrack "Le reve originel" which is an alternative french version of "This is not the original dream" and all other aspects make The Unexpected unique and more than just another melodic metalalbum.

	Rough Edge: Beautiful Sin CD Reviews
		The only track which doesn’t truly fit here is "Brace of Impact," an impressive but misplaced showcase of the musical skills of the instrumentalists performing on this outstanding CD.
		The riffs from Lofstad (Pagan’s Mind) are buzzing and firing while his solos scream out with anger.
		A lot of twists and turns uplift the music on “The Unexpected” and boost it sky high.

	Uli Kusch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dispute between Weiki and both Uli and Roland saw the latter two depart to form Masterplan, something they had originally been planning as a side project.
		In 2005, Uli formed a new band called Beautiful Sin with help from Masterplan bandmate Axel Mackenrott and members of Pagan's Mind.
		Beautiful Sin will become his new main priority.

	GLORY-DAZE - AOR Reviews, Classic Rock, HM, Progressive Rock and Metal, and West Coast.
		Lofstad churns out one thunderous riff after the other while the bed of synths laid by Mackenrott ensures the melody is (unlike the song title) not lost.
		Changing pace is the ballad 'Closer To My Heart', followed by the slightly demented 'Give Up Once For All', which sounds skitzo though to be fair, melody is still highly evident.
		Proving to be different yet again is the instrumental 'Brace For Impact', a fantastic pompous keyboard workout from Axel Mackenrott that would give Derek Sherinian a run for his money.

		Di certo le punte di diamante della band teutonica sono l’ugola straordinaria di Jorn Lande e le qualità strumentistiche di Roland Grapow ed Uli Kusch, ma il merito di un suono tanto compatto e perfetto è dell’intera line-up, affiatata e decisa come non mai.

	ALBUM PREVIEW - BEAUTIFUL SIN/ "The Unexpected"
		It finds a path that leads into a dynamic and very personal, charming sound.
		Uli's und Magali's bandmates are also worth to talk about: next to Pagan's Mind's Jorn Viggo Lofstad (guitar) and Steinar Krokmo (bass), coming from Uli's new chosen home Norway, there is also Kusch's Masterplan-mate Axel Mackenrott (keyboards) with the band.
		The vision of Beautiful Sin therefore is everything else than a short termed solo project.

		To quickly re-cap - Helloween alumni Roland Grapow (guitars) and Uli Kusch (drums) are the architects of the band.
		Together they recruited vocalist Jorn Lande (Jorn, ex-Ark, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen), bassist Jan S. Eckert (ex-Iron Savior) and drummer Axel Mackenrott (ex-Punch TV).
		Of passing interest is the fact that the band first asked ex-metal vocalist Michael Kiske (Helloween vocalist 1987-1993) to be Masterplan’s vocalist.

	The Metal Crypt - Reviews
		Hell, I would have been surprised if the album wasn’t this damn good.
		The band features Roland Grapow and Oli Kusch of Helloween fame, Jan S. Eckert who used to play bass for Iron Savior, Jorne Lande who used to be vocalist for the band Ark, and Axel Mackenrott who is highly regarded as a keyboardist in the metal community.
		There is certainly a lot of talent here and it is certainly being put to good use.

		That should explain the style a little and that they definitely know what they are doing.
		Add Axel Mackenrott and you have a Masterplan.
		If you combined a little power metal, traditional heavy metal, progressive metal, and even a little neoclassical metal, you could create their sound.

		The foursome (including the unheralded Dirk Schlachter on bass) know what they're doing and it's great to hear so many non-classic Gamma Ray tracks played live.
		Playing alongside on keyboards is Axel Mackenrott (who plays for the Helloween-inspired Masterplan).
		It's funny but my first time through this I thought what a great album.
