Some of the best guitars we’ve heard in a long while which is very refreshing. Take care and all the very best from www.THEBEAT.fm Supporting Independent Music - In The Mix Sep 30, 2007 9/29/2007: This is really good. But is more of what I would call progressive rock. A heavy rock backbone, surrounded by several tasty passages. I love instrumentals...all feelings and emotions are well translated by all players. So...no twerpy comments about no vocals from me. Give a listen to the Dixie Dregs (Steve Morse). These guys are excellent musicians... Cross over ? Hit potential ? Playing what you feel to the best of your ability is what it’s all about. Not catering to the media, and compromising ones vision. Success comes from the inside more often than the outside. I got respect for that... Scarry Garcia Good fusion track really, good playing. It’s just not mainstream in any way. But a small group of more refined listeners will be thrilled. Armageddon 9/1/2007: Wooow...! Joe Satriani, Michael Schenker, Steve Vai - step aside. This has so much power!! EricMendez 5/30/2007: Wow, that goes off like a rocket! 1/1/1900: Fans of Joe Satriani and co would love this! Very well played, boogies like Satch. you do have to appreciate the paying here. There are some excellent guitar phrases, which sets it apart from the norm. Well played, well mixed. Nice one. KenMorrison 1/1/1900: An exciting piece of instrumental guitar rock that would fit any motor racing show. It has a clever time signature change in the middle 8 of the tune and reminded me a little of Jeff Beck at his most rockiest! Good job!
