"Surfing With the Alien Gold Edition is completely unsurpassed in quality and clarity. It's complete remastery enables you to get the absolute most from your Cd player, When you crank it up the only thing that comes closer to a Satch concert is actualy being there. This CD is a definate must have! -JP-"
Yeah, well, maybe we're a little biased

"Of course, if you're reading this review, you MUST be a satriani fan anyway. Let's face it, you're not going to browse over to the satriani section in between checking out the latest albums by brittany spears and the backstreet boys. So you should only expect to find nothing but praise here in the first place. What can I say? If you're not yet a satriani fan and are just happening upon this album, BUY IT! This one turned so many people into budding guitar players it's not even funny. There's not been a more revered and guitarist spawning guitar album since Becks Blow by Blow or maybe even Hendrix's Axis, Bold as Love. If you ARE a satriani fan, and have not yet heard this album, well, you're obviously out of touch. Go ahead and buy the gold version so you'll be getting a double treat. Not to mention there are already people buying the gold versions on ebay for 40 bucks! Imagine what it will be worth in another ten or so. The next one to be remastered will undoubtably be flying in a blue dream or crystal planet. But this one is really the one that brought instrumental rock guitar back to life. Also, if you've not heard it (again, you're out of touch) buy Steve Vai's Passion and Warfare."
