MacAlpine,
Tony: Edge of Insanity (USA) Shrapnel-USA/85 This is probably just about my favorite speed metal
(or, “neo-classical fusion guitar,” as the promo sticker says) album of all
time. Joe Lalaina of Guitar
World said “MacAlpine’s style could best be described as a cross between
Allan Holdsworth and Yngwie Malmstee,” which is about right!
MacAlpine (who is also a more than competent keyboardist) is joined by
bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Steve Smith (Vital Information, Journey).
All instrumental. Recommended. See also the Vinnie Moore entry.

passages in between. Martz is a
multi-instrumentalist, and one of the instruments he features extensively—and
beautifully—is the Mellotron. He
is supported by many other musicians on this work, among them Eddie Jobson, Ruth
Underwood, and Paul Whitehead (yes, the one who did the Genesis covers!; he
plays bowed cymbal and percussion). Don’t miss out on this one!

of everything from tight ensemble composition to totally free improvisation;
complex layers of polyrhythms to surging waves of pure sound; sections and bits
of compostion surfacing from the flow and then redissolving.”

McLaughlin,
John/Al Di Meola/Paco De Lucia:
Passion, Grace & Fire (ENG/USA/SPA) Columbia-USA/83
This is actually not a normal copy of the album; it is what’s known in
the mastering business as a “ref,” or a lacquer reference disc.
A ref is very heavy and weighs about twice what a regular record weighs.
This ref was made at Sterling Sound in New York, and comes in a special
box (some of the corners are split) made by the mastering studio.
It’s interesting to note that some of the song titles changed between
the mastering stage and the actual release to the public: “Orient Blue
Suite” was originally “Al’s Suite” and “Sichia” was “Rhumba.”
There aren’t too many of these floating about (maybe five or ten
total). VG++/E---

London-USA/75 Listen up, fusion fans!
I just recently discovered Barry Miles (well, better late than never, I
guess). He’s truly an awesome
keyboardist, and he and his bandmates cook up a musical storm.
Miles engages in some of the hottest Moog soloing that I’ve heard in a
long while (he also plays acoustic and electric piano, organ, clavinet, vibes
and percussion on this LP), with playing that harkens to talents like Jan Hammer
and Kit Watkins when he was a bit more adventurous.
Some of you may recognize Miles’ name from his appearances on Al
DiMeola’s Land of the Midnight Sun and Casino
LPs. If you like fusion done the
old-fasioned way, you need this album. Two
songs are over 11 minutes. I bought
