5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Must-Have!, January 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

I'm a huge fan of incredible guitar-oriented/instrumental rock and fusion. Think Dream Theater, Greg Howe, Michael Lee Firkins, Jason Becker...and absolutely Blues Saraceno. I've got all of this guy's recordings and they are all excellent. Most of all, Blues is a fantastic composer and arranger. He writes some of the the most grooving rhythms around and accents them them with amazingly inspired melodies. He's mastered tone and extracts fat, juicy and fiesty sounds from his guitar. The reviewer who said not to drive to this music is just about right--it is really captivating, fascinating stuff that has never gotten old or boring, even on the 200th play. If you already appreciate instrumental rock, jazz fusion or harder blues, you will LOVE this album. Truly a "can't go wrong" disc.

Blues Saraceno is nothing short of a demi-god when it comes to musical genius. His approach to music in it's entirety is amazing to say the least. He has replaced my past favorites and now stands proud at the top. While he is fast as Vai and Satriani, his phrasing is majestic. His tone in unprecedented and unmatchable. Surprising to say, Saraceno cut all of these tracks in his own home studio at the ages of 16-23. You will understanding what I am talking about when you hear this albumn. BUY THIS CD!!! REVEL IN ITS BEAUTY!!! SPREAD THE WORD OF BLUES SARACENO!!!

Ehy Blues, are you reading all these excellent reviews of your instrumental albums? We' re all amazed by your talent as a guitarist and as a instrumental rock fusion composer. C'mon dude, come back to instrumental music as soon as possible and release another marvel album just like the three you did in the past!

And you guys, you rock-fusion lovers don't hesitate at all. Buy all the music you can find from Blues. His music is a fantastic mix of energy and beauty. If you love Satriani, Hoey, Vai, Van Halen music, those things, you' ll love Blues.
