This album is more about the music than it is about the keyboards. It’s about his writing as much as it is about his playing. And it’s about finding musicians good enough to play what he had written. The music is more riff oriented than you would expect from a keyboard guy’s solo album, but that’s what I’m saying. It wasn’t about him, it was about the songs, and the songs are actually really good. It’s not the usual neo-classical fare you would expect from an instrumental cd and it’s not the jazz fusion fest that I was afraid it would be. It’s sort of like a heavy Satriani or MacAlpine with some of the more recent Savatage stuff thrown in and overall it just really works. --Scott
