专辑简介

Four full stars for this title by Gary Hoey. I mean, this cd deserves absolutly four stars from its beginning to its end. It is really entertaining, expecially if you love instrumental rock, obviously. I had a lot of fun listening to it. Hoey is not the kind of virtuoso who plays a zillion notes. He is not comparable to Greg Howe or to Lane or to Prashant Aswani for example. They are more on the fusion side and are more committed to explore new stuff. Gary is not like them: he's committed to deliver pure fun through his guitar riffs and melodies and is more on the simple instrumental rock side. He plays a sort of Satriani instrumental rock, but without the strange awkward melodies sometimes Joe plays. Gary is just a simple melodies and riffs writer at heart and a consistent guitarist with great wah wah pentatonic chops. Moreover he has strong sounds and great time. Probably noone will ever point him as a guitar god but this album (and I imagine his others are too) is truly entertaining.
