Beyond the Mist (Robin Trower album)

Beyond the Mist is a studio album by British guitarist Robin Trower, released in 1985. The album represents a departure from Trower's earlier, blues-rock oriented sound, incorporating more pronounced synthesizers and a distinctly 1980s production style. Vocal duties are handled by Davey Pattison, who had previously collaborated with Trower on several albums.

The album features eight tracks and was released on the Atlantic Records label. While Beyond the Mist wasn't a major commercial success compared to some of Trower's earlier work like Bridge of Sighs, it remains part of his discography and demonstrates his willingness to experiment with different sounds and arrangements. Critical reception at the time was mixed, with some reviewers appreciating the new direction while others lamented the shift away from Trower's more established style. Common criticisms focused on the heavily synthesized sound and its perceived dilution of Trower's guitar prowess. Despite mixed initial reactions, the album has retained a following among some Trower fans who appreciate its unique approach and the contributions of Davey Pattison's vocals.
