This is an all instrumental (except for some talk box) album. It could be argued that it doesn’t fit under progressive rock. Certainly the rock side is mostly absent. This is largely fusion oriented, but at times it does get into pure jazz and even world music. I would say that fans of things like California Guitar Trio are likely to enjoy this. That and the fact that we usually include fusion under prog gets this classified there. However you size it up, though, it’s a great disc with some exceptional musical adventures.

As the guitars create the melodies here this has a real soaring prog meets fusion kind of sound to it. The piece is quite dynamic. It’s also dramatic and rather powerful.

Intricate guitar, energized jamming and more are heard on this killer cut. It’s not a huge difference from the rest, but it’s quite strong and never feels redundant or samey.
