BLACK LIGHT SYNDROME

This is what rock fans love. Three great musicians, jamming out, and making some great music. That is what you have here, IMO, but it is not simple rock. In fact Progressive is the only way to label this.

When I first purchased this CD, blindly purchased going only on the names of Levin and Bozzio, I had no idea who this Steve Stevens was. A friend told me later on that he was the guitarist for Billy Idol. WHAT!?!?! Billy Idol?!? Well, let me tell you something. This Steve Stevens guy is definitely not good. He is amazing! Talk about some creative playing and guitar chops that rival the guitarists out there, this guy belongs in the realm of guitar heroes. So as it turns out, Stevens meshing with the other two Prog giants results in one excellent set of instrumental material.

I mentioned jamming before, because that is the feeling I get throughout. And its like these guys can read each other perfectly. If you are a musician, this is a great place to find ideas as many different techniques can be heard throughout. The feel of the album is upbeat and exploratory not mention melodic. It has a jazz, latin, rock, fusion vibe going on.

I highly recommend this album for the music connoisseur.
