CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Constantly striving for the ultimate in frontier music magic, Derek Sherinian just seems to explode & unfold rapidly & efficiently with new collaborations, innovations, & daredevil feats of keyboard artistry. But all his past efforts have been band situations, whether that be providing a technological edge to acts like Alice Cooper or Kiss, or his work with Dream Theater at the height of their fame, or slamming along with equally formidable players in platforms like Platypus & Planet X. On this 2003 release Derek surrounds himself with some of the greatest talent from the worlds of rock & jazz - Steve Lukather, Simon Phillips, Zakk Wylde, Billy Sheehan, Yngwie Malmsteen, All DiMeola & more. 9 tracks packaged in a Digipak. Inside Out Music. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMetal for grown-ups Marius Cipolla | 07/17/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Fans and musicians are sometimes aggrieved that metal isn't taken seriously by those outside the faith -- after all, the virtuoso performances of drummers, keyboardists and guitarists are often dazzling. One problem is that so much metal is repetitious. Every hemidemisemiquaver that Yngwie Malmsteen plays is utterly predictable and pat. Many metal fans like that. The astonishing thing about Sherinian is his endless inventiveness. True musicality never ceases to progress and surprise the listener. A lot of reviewers who don't like Sherinian have just been left behind by him, or are unable to tell that the whirlwind playing is not simply the usual arpeggios and dreary riffs, but something creative and thrilling.
Derek Sherinian is a wonderful performer and a very serious musician, and this album deserves a listening from everyone who loves to hear new music." |
