Okay I put the CD into the player... Hmmm... What the hell ? Fuck they
gave me a wrong CD, fucking disk shop... well... angry I eject the CD
and to my astonishment : "oh oh ... it's the right CD". Well...
okay let's put it right back :) ... And it starts again, but okay...
you get used to it. Satriani has a gift for changing his style and not
changing it in the same time, you can always feel his touch... like
fingerprints in the sound. And he did it again, so much than I really
thought I had the wrong CD. How the hell could I know he's gonna do
techno like (indus actually) music tracks ? Okay like I said it's Indus,
not techno, but some of the track could very much be used in a Wipeout
game soundtrack. So a very different CD from what I'm used to hear from
Joe, and now that I almost accepted Crystal Planet changes in matter
of sound I have to do it all over again and recalibrate my hearing sensors
:) ! The album is technically impressive like always and home made Satriani's
melodies are omnipresent, but warning, the guitar sounds very weird
in this album, I'm not even sure it's one.... really ! you could mistake
it with a keyboard and some people might feel strange about that like
I did. So don't think you're gonna Surf With The Aliens (still my favorite
Satriani album BTW) and the Silver Surfer.... cause it's millions of
miles away in another direction (not near Crystal Planet either), but
it doesn't mean it's bad... no, not at all, it's just different and
original. Since I cannot say for this release that it sounds like metal
I will not quote it.
