This timeless and groundbreaking album contains a vast array of styles and playing techniques that broke the mainstream and introduced the world to instrumental rock music that everyone could enjoy. It has been mentioned that this album may have paved the way for other musicians such as Steve Vai, Kenny G, Yngwie Malmsteen, Phil Emmanuel and the like to be appreciated, popularised and recognised as serious exponents of the art by raising the profile for all non verbal recording artists in general. Songs such as “Always with me, always with you”, “Midnight”, “Satch boogie” and “Circles” display Satch’s musical diversity, letting the listener feel the purity of this art form while evoking deep emotions, feelings of awe and WTF moments….. all without the use of any words. I would recommend this album to any young aspiring musician who’s in need of inspiration as well as those who are simply sick of what the industry is pumping out at the moment. Joe Satriani is by definition, a musician’s musician and truly one of the greatest to ever do it and so, as expected, this instrumental album is truly one of the greatest ever created, a hidden gem. Enjoy.
