A Great Instrumental Guitar Rock Album
Feb 14 2006
By Mike S
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This cd was better than I expected to be. I remember when this came out in 1988,but I didn't buy until now when it came out in 2005 on the Wounded Bird label.The guitar work by Ronnie Montrose is excellent with great solos and guitar riffs. The music is a great blend of guitar driven instrumental rock with synthesizers with solid bass and drumming. There weren't any hits off this cd,but who cares? I like this better than the work Ronnie did with Gamma. Who needs vocals when you can play the guitar like Montrose does.

Futuristic Guitar Mind Exploration

Awesome! This album is finally available again! I remember wearing this cassette out in my car back in the day- at the time I was a huge fan of instrumental guitar albums after hearing the mighty Joe Satriani, and had also picked up most of the Shrapnel records solo artists. This one was so different, original, and compelling, and remains so to this day.
While certainly full of amazing, incendiary guitar solos, what really captured my imagination is the enigmatic "space-rock" feel of this album- from the song titles ("Telstar", "Monolith") to the near-ambient, futuristic and mysterious vibe of the compositions, this is really a standout instrumental album in the genre, finally in print again. Ronnie Montrose' tone and phrasing as a soloist are phenomenal- it feels like a hybrid of the Gilmour-esque spacey feeling-oriented rock fused with a forward-thinking approach far ahead of it's time....recommended!

Ronnie at his best.

One of the most creative instrumental guitar albums I have heard. One of Ronnie's best. I was a big fan of the Gamma albums featuring Ronnie, and my favorite was Gamma 3. Though this is instrumental and Gamma has vocals both are classic. I also recommend Territory (though it is not as strong of an album) The Diva Station (currently out of print) and Anti-m Positively Negative -remastered (Ronnie plays on a handful of tracks but the song Security rocks). And visit Ronnies Website RonnieMontrose.com and get on his email list.
