Pete Prown,Guitar.com,2001
Think you haven't heard anything new in guitar in while? If so, try Denis Taaffe's "Alien Guitar".

Product Description
On Alien Guitar: Modern Rock Guitar Vol. II, a new ground breaking release for 2001, guitarist Denis Taaffe combines regular guitar, blistering solos and guitar loops done on the fly to break new ground in modern rock guitar and in the process defines a unique multi layered guitar style. All tracks are one takes, done live-in-the-studio with no overdubs, and must be heard to be appreciated. The CD just features Taaffe and his rack of musical gear - plus the inspiration of the moment. As writer Pete Prown has stated, "All told, Alien Guitar: Modern Rock Guitar Vol. II contains the kind of kooky, maverick genius rarely heard on guitar albums these days. Here’s a guy who dares to be different, take chances, and risks making mistakes... it’s the sound of one guitarist with a cool idea and the ingenuity to effectively put it down in recorded form. " Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Rock), total running time, 70:22

Night is Right.......2002-08-15

What I mean is...Nightlights and Vision of the Night are my 2 favs. I really liked abduction but Alien G is 10 times better. ESP, Cold, etc. Very unique style. Im not juts reffering to his playing of all instruments alone, I mean the music itself. The 2 songs I initially mentioned are in my top 10 all time favorites of all songs. He is not very popular, but I hope he is popular enough to keep putting out these awesome CD's. His live CD is also very worthwhile. Great job Denis!!!

NIGHT'S LIGHT.......2002-02-25

CD IS AWESOME, IN A WORD. DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER REVIEWER DOES NOT LIKE CD(WHICH ANYONE IS ENTITLED TO FEEL) BUT TO SAY OTHERS WERE PAID TO SAY IS PLAIN STUPID, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS CD. PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY, ITS AN AWE INSPIRING AMERICAN MUSIC CD. MAY NOT BE WELL APPRECIATED IN A LAND IN CONSTANT STRIFE. LIKE MY TITLE WOULD INDICATE, ESPECIALLY LOVE "NIGHTLIGHTS" AND "VISION OF THE NIGHT". DENIS PLAYS ALL INSTRUMENTS AND IT BLENDS LIKE A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE. SWEET AND SWEET!! CAN NOT WAIT FOR NEXT CD RELEASE.

what is it?.......2002-01-18

i really dont know

who paid the other guys that wrote the reviews

because i really dont know what is it denis taaffe he ain't

a guitar player for me

Fantastic!!!!!!.......2001-08-25

Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic album!!!!! I've listened to many music artists in my 40+ years but Denis Taaffe has provided an excellent guitar style with songs that can be "powerful" (Courage-CD Track 11) and dynamic as well as soft and "relaxing" (Cold-CD Track 12). Denis is a realitively unknown talent outside of his home state of Indiana. It is only a matter of time before his style and music become well known across the music industry and change that. I live in the Phoenix,AZ area and I've already contacted Denis in attempt to get him to perform in the "Valley Of Sun". Phoenix would love his music. I've had several friends listen to "Alien Guitar" and Denis's first album "Abducted By Aliens." They are extremely impressed by his music and talent. Keep the music coming Denis!!!!!

THIS IS ONE SEQUEL THATS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.......2001-06-19

ON MY 1ST REVIEW, OF ABDUCTED BY ALIENS, I SAID FIRST SATRIANI, JOHNSON, VAI, NOW TAAFFE. WELL NOW IM SAYING FIRST SATRIANI, THEN TAAFFE. I REALLY LOVE THIS CD. IM NOT A GUITAR PLAYER, WHICH PROBABLY QUALIFIES ME MORE TO REVIEW THE FEEL OF THIS CD. I'VE BEEN A FAN SINCE HIS 1ST CD WAS RELEASED. I PURCHASED THIS ONE FROM AMAZON TOO, AND IT WAS WORTH THE PRICE AND THEN SOME. I WAS SOMEWHAT DISSAPOINTED TO FIND OUT DENIS CHANGED HIS STYLE. BUT, WE ALL KNOW CHANGE CAN BE HARD AND USUALLY LEADS TO BETTER THINGS. WELL, THIS IS BETTER, MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER. I ESPECIALLY LOVE "NIGHTLIGHTS" AND ALSO "VISION OF THE NIGHT" AND "FINAL", WHICH THIS CD BETTER NOT BE, OF DENIS. I ALSO BOUGHT HIS ONLINE MUSIC ON MP3.COM, THAT WAS WORTH IT TOO, ESPECIALLY "THEMES", BUT THIS CD IS A MASTERPEICE. I HAVE LISTENED TO IT OVER AND OVER. DENIS IS TO GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL WHAT STEVEN SPIELBERG IS TO MOVIES. YOU CAN PLAY THE DARN INSTRUMENT, BUT ITS NOT ANY GOOD IF YOU DONT DO IT WITH STYLE AND CREATIVE PASSION. DENIS HAS ALOT OF PASSION. THANKS DENIS!
