As a non guitarist I can sometimes find ║ │ │║ instrumental albums rather hard to digest but like Satriani ║ │ │║ and Vai and Gilbert thereÆs something about Vinnie Moore ║ │ │║ that I can relate to even though heÆs not coming from the ║ │ │║ same place as any of those guys mentioned. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If anything for me Moore has always been more accessible ║ │ │║ and less cinematic relying more on emotional connection and ║ │ │║ crisp snapshots than grand constructions and epic ║ │ │║ meanderings. Indeed opening with the funky bluesy æFunk ║ │ │║ Bone JamÆ this is music you can dance to! And as the ║ │ │║ morning sunrise of æSame Sun ShinesÆ washes over you ║ │ │║ thereÆs immediateness and more funk in the upbeat æKung Fu ║ │ │║ GripÆ where Vinnie lets the lead take the line where the ║ │ │║ vocals might have lodged. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Interestingly each though all of the songs are without ║ │ │║ lyrics there are a few words and exclamations scattered ║ │ │║ here and there and sometimes a guitar line or a space ║ │ │║ suggests where words might have been. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ There are plenty of cool moments packed in here: the gentle ║ │ │║ slow build of æMystifiedÆ and its gentle and restful ║ │ │║ journey. And thereÆs more light moodiness and æblue skyÆ ║ │ │║ exploration with æBrother CarlosÆ and as you might imagine ║ │ │║ æGainsville StationÆ takes you on a funk tinged Southern ║ │ │║ fried ride that recalls The Allmans in full flight;ÆSoul ║ │ │║ RiderÆ too hints at imaginary Westerns before it starts to ║ │ │║ seek out the sun. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Moore has produced something that is actually quite ║ │ │║ difficult to do here û a guitar album that keeps it moving ║ │ │║ and fails to drag, sure it may not be as all enveloping as ║ │ │║ Vai or Satriani but in the fluid and transformative ║ │ │║ æMirageÆ, the mournfulness of æHeard You Were GoneÆ and the ║ │ │║ epic rock landscape of closer æAcross The AgesÆ Moore ║ │ │║ proves heÆs more than worthy of being mentioned in the same ║ │ │║ breath. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
