Powerful work from a prog rock genius!.......2006-08-27

Kerry Livgren, the lead guitarist/keyboardist and chief songwriter for progressive rock icons Kansas, released yet another masterful solo work in 1994, entitled, WHEN THINGS GET ELECTRIC (though, I am not sure if I should call it a true solo work, given the stellar support from Corps de Pneuma).

Filled with his own unique fusion of highly melodic tunesmithing, combined with complex and daring playing and arranging, and powerfully meaningful and affecting lyrics, this album ranks with Kerry's best work. In particular, I am blown away by "Xylon (The Tree)," which is a thrilling epic, and also the bluesy, crackling title track.

As he has in the past, Kerry employs various vocalists, who have a healthy blend of soulful realism and the ability to soar celestially. Kansas' superb violinist, David Ragsdale, is also a welcome addition here. Overall, the sound is big and booming, accented by many passages of lovely delicacy.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR: Fans of Kansas, Kerry Livgren, A.D., Dixie Dregs, Dream Theater, Neil Morse, Transatlantic, Spock's Beard, Styx, Genesis, Queen, Jabberwockie

A Great CD!.......2004-10-03

This is agreat CD made by a great musician/song writer. The more I hear it, the more I like it. Intelligent rock music is a rare and precious thing.

Powerful, emotional, and anything but boring.......2003-11-21

Kerry Livgren has to be one of the most talented musicians to come along since Mozart. Each song has its own personality. His music never fails to move me. This album is no exception. His songwriting talents and great skill in finding just the right notes to play on his guitar are brought to life in every song on the disc. Although the whole disc is great, three tracks definitly stand out: "When Things Get Electric", "This Dark World", and "Xylon (The Tree)". These three songs are among Kerry's best to date. If you find these songs "boring", then you'd better check your pulse to make sure you are still among the living. If you were ever a Kansas or Livgren fan and don't own this CD, you owe it to yourself to add it to your collection.

Super Talented..........2000-06-29

This CD might take a few listens to really appreciate. The more you listen, the more you will be blown away. Kerry is one of the best composer/writers' in the music world. His music is very powerful and diverse.This disc features two great vocalists, a superb violinist(David Ragsdale), and some awesome guitar work from Kerry. As always the lyrics are fresh and meaningful.I agree this disc is nothing like "Seeds of Change", but change is good!

BORING!!!.......1999-07-04

Don't get me wrong, Kerry's a GREAT songwriter and musician, but this album does nothing. "Seeds Of Change" is great, and so is "One Of Several Possible Musiks", but this is no good. Every now and then, you hear some interesting riffs. I you're a Livgren collector, be my guest. If you're exploring, try the two that I mentioned.
