Howe in his element, April 1 2000
By "relayer28" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quantum Guitar (Audio CD)
If you like Steve Howe's work wih Yes, as a solo artist, or if you just like great guitar playing, this cd is most definitely for you. Steve plays dozens of guitars (and everything else but drums, handled by his son, Dylan) and the textures and tones are astounding. His cover of "Walk,Don't Run" rocks very hard and could easily be the theme music at any live sporting event---its that cool. The styles here range from Texas swing to Yes-ish prog. Since you'll never hear any of this great music on the radio---of course---you owe it to yourself to get this marvelous collection of Steve Howe artistry.

One of Steve Howe's finest solo efforts., April 14 2000

This, and perhaps The Steve Howe Album, are the stonger solo efforts by this exceptional guitarist. What seperates this picker from other players is his unique sense of melody. Where he certainly plays a lot of notes it never comes across as overplaying as he never strays too far from the melody. His compositional skills are diverse and eclectic. Howe plays all of the instruments here with the exception of the drum kit. His son Dylan accompanies him here and does a serviceable job. Not yet a musical peer of his Dad but does not detract from the effort. This is a fine recording, one well worth obtaining...Simon

This is Steve Howe's best guitar work since Close to the Edge. Incredible playing of electric, accoustic and slide guitars.
