Rövid ismertető
A Hegylakó című film betétdalainak átdolgozott változatai, és egy-két kiegészítés hallható itt. A One Vision, a Who Wants To Live Forever és a Friends Will Be Friends óriási slágerek voltak. A pop vonal mellett Brian és Freddie súlyos heavy rock darabokat is kreáltak, úgyhogy egy igazán változatos lemez készült. A legismertebb dal a címadó Kind Of Magic.
