20.000 notes per minute: classically educated guitarist lovers, pay attention, this is something for you. Alex Masi has a great love for J.S. Bach, and we will know it. Bombastic “songs” in a very metal jacket. Musically (read: technically) this album is of a high standard, and all musicians know what to do. Still it all has been done before, and maybe better, as that cold and sharp guitar sound belongs in the eighties.

This album could have been a big hit back then. Maybe trying to hook up with the eighties revival? Gothic also has its roots in that decade. This is one for the people who still like what Malmsteen already did back then.
