Editorial Reviews

2009 release from the Metal guitarist. Vinnie was among the first wave of Metal artists who released instrumental guitar albums (Mind's Eye in 1986), he's played with Alice Cooper amongst others, and he's been the guitarist for UFO since 2003. Vinnie has always got the song, the melody and the feel as main ingredients in his music and he's just one of that handful of totally awesome players. 11 tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vinnie still has it!!, May 30, 2009

Based on other internet reviews of this album that some referred to as 'not typical Vinnie' or 'jazzy' I was hesitant . These people may only know the shredding Vinnie of 1986 but if you have enjoyed his playing over the years especially his most recent with UFO (be sure to check out the new UFO album Visitor) then I say Vinnie still has it! While the album isn't as 'metal' as past work and slightly mellower in some parts, the lead work is still classic Vinnie. The album may have a hint of jazz or blues but it is clearly still a ROCK record ala a mature Vinnie in 2009. Bottom line if you like great lead guitar work, current UFO and Vinnie in general, this album is for you. Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars as I hoped for, August 1, 2009

I've always liked Vinnie's music ever since I bought my first copy of "Minds Eye". When he joined UFO I was hoping he would develope his skills in a way that playing with other guys with ideas of their own can. Success! On this cd [ to the core ] he shows that growth. The songs are less straight forward and more structered.I still enjoy the straitforward stuff but it is great to hear him expand his skills.Thanks UFO for being the guys that helped in Vinnie's growth. Not taking anything away from Vinne,he after all he is the one that gave Ufo an incredible talent to work with.

I was a fan of Vinnie Moore's first record, Mind's Eye (yup, I bought it in the 80's and still have it on Vinyl), but never really got into is playing after that, I've tried, I have a few of his other CD's, the one I liked the best (besides this) is his live disc. This CD, is fantastic, I like it better then Mind's Eye. The compositions, production and playing are all great. Vinnie really put out a very strong CD this time around. If your a fan of instrument rock guitar, then you'll probably like it.
