5.0 out of 5 stars You want melody? This is melody!, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Spirit (Audio CD)

Joe Satriani had summed up a quote to describe Jan Cyrka's guitar playing: "The only guitarist that's worth listening to". He emphasizes melody over chops, thus created this masterpiece. What really amazes me is the way he make the solos breathe, wail, and moan, then reaches to a climax, as if he was telling a story. I definitely recommend to everyone who love soaring melodies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Agree, March 6, 2001

This review is from: Spirit (Audio CD)

I agree with Neil Scotford from uk but feel that the 1992 album "beyond the common ground" was better than "Spirit". The song "Sitting on eggs" is one of my all time favourite tracks. But as Neil suggests Jan Cyrka is not JUST another speed guitar player .......this guy has the blues in his fingers and uses it. How people can listen to "Surfing with the Alien" compared to this is beyond me.......I've sold my Satriani albums and replaced them with Jan Cyrka!
