5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favourites, September 12, 2003

Just sitting back listening to this album (on vinyl no less) and felt compelled to write a review.

This is one of the greatest instrumental rock/metal guitar albums ever. Take an incredibly talented innovative guitar player, add one of the best rock bass guitarists in the world and one of the craziest drummers out there - and lets face it to play on this album you have to have these types of credentials or you wont keep up with Mr Howe - and top it off with music that takes you somewhere instead of being a technique lesson and you have Greg Howe's debut album.

There are a number of albums out there that changed the course of history in instrumental guitar playing and this deserves to be in that list. Buy it and discover what's possible...

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer instrumental Prowice, Here, May 9, 2004

Super technical fretwork here !!! Showcases some really catchy melodies a mix of Raw technical metal,Funk & jazz. Out of Easton, PA, this fella should teach music at G.I.T. or Berkley. There is no equal to this shredder's class, in original compositions. The first of many astounding releases from an artist, that should have been marketed better.He embarrasses most high fame studio & live performers. Check it out, you won't believe your ears !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars funky, February 18, 2000

This review is from: Greg Howe (Audio CD)

The first thing that struck me about this album was that the music actual had groove, and a great sense of rhythm, something lacking in the majority of shred cd's. The phenomenal guitar playing only complements this- you never get the impression that he's playing too many notes. This in main part being because most of the lead work is so melodic, with quite a unique use of tapping, producing a distinctive, and beautiful flowing sound. A truly fantastic guitar tone- one that I always try and aspire to. Most triumphant!
