"I am a guitar lunatic. After 25 years, I still can't stop buying guitar records. (I'm 43 now, I bought the CD 12 years ago) I have all the biggies, Vai, Satch, Greg Howe, Holdsworth, Garsed, Malmsteen, Verheyen, Morse, Petrucci, Kollman, Gambale, Jon Finn, many many more, why go on. I will say this once. SHAWN LANE IS THE BEST MUSICIAN TO EVER LIVE ON THIS PLANET. I never tire of it. It took a while to absorb, after listening to a million notes a minute albums of the late 80's but it grew and grew and grew on me. The depth of his music, the melodies, tone, speed, phrasing. The numerous influences make this record a smogasbord to the pallette. And to think he played every instrument himself, makes you realize that this man was not human, but some angel like alien given as a gift to the world. If you are a musician of any kind or like instument music, get the disk, and spend a little extra if you have to (remember, it's out of print). RIP Shawn"
