I haven’t listenned to this CD for a while, wow! And not just because of the name ;-) This album, as a very few others, is a milestone in the music history. It was interesting for me to read the different reviews you can find online: on one side, very disapointed people, on the other side, very exciting ones… The latters are usually musicians, surely also a lot of guitarists. All this to mention that this album is not a easy one.

It was released in 1989 and won the Grammy of the “Best Instrumental Rock” album the same year. Terry Bozzio as a drummer and Tony Hymas as keyboard player joined Jeff Beck on this album. Each of them is a part of Music with a big “M”: Beck was, among others, the guitarist of the Yardbirds in the 60’s. Terry was the drummer of Frank Zappa and he is one the best technician and one the more innovative drummer since years. A kind of extraterrestrial, specially in the field of coordination. Have a look at his set:

So, a very uncommon set of musicians – trio guitar, keyboard and drums – who play quite a complicated music. BUT, to my mind, it definitely rocks. Have a try.
