My favorite Greg Howe recording.......2006-03-30

This is the one folks. For me, this one has everything that makes me be proud to be a musician. Theres a feeling of hightened musical inspiration and satisfaction that overcomes me all throughout this recording. Great rock/fusion groove material that is very pleasant to the ear. Once again though, the only downer is hes still using those electronic drum sounds on this one. Granted hes playing the drumparts himself. I still wish he had a real drumkit for this recording. Still this music sets him apart from most of the other "solo" guitarists in tone and musical quality. Get this before its out of print!!!!!

A Master of The Fretboard.......2005-06-30

I've been searching for great guitars for some time now. I been playing guitar for about 20 years...a die hard shredder. I've noticed that as time goes on, the level at which new up and coming talent is playing seems to be decreasing dramatically. Needless to say, I've been searching older stuff...mostly jazz, progressive, with a virtuoso flair. I was purchasing an Allan Holdsworth CD, when I noticed Greg Howe's name at the bottom of the page. So I search him out and purchased this CD. I am amazed at his playing, and much more at the fact that I'd never heard of him. He doesn't just follow patterns...he knows the fret board. On top of that, the songs are perfectly laid out. For instance, when I listen to Vai or Malmsteen, I like to hear the extent of their technical abilities, but the songs are often lacking substance. With this CD, you won't be disappointed.

A modern fusion virtuoso.......2004-12-01

Greg Howe is one of those artists that at first glance seems to be 'just another big hair guitarist.' Then you start to really listen... and you realize, he's not just showing off a bag of tricks, but he's actually playing something that makes sense musically.

Some would compare him to Joe Satriani - I'd say he's better. He doesn't have the in-your-face theatrics of Eddie Van Halen or the short solo bombast of Steve Vai -- but he doesn't need them either. He can finger-tap and wah-riff and pitch-bend and feedback with the best... but with Greg's work, it all fits.

Russ Freeman of the Rippingtons also comes to mind... but where Russ tends to stay within the established paths of jazz-fusion, Greg isn't afraid to go offroad into heavy-metal arpeggios and fast passages and power chords either.

Gerg's playing appeals to the rock fans with his style, to the jazz fans with his composition. That's hard to pull off. Give a listen. You'll probably agree, Greg Howe is someone with serious talent and artistic sense, who so far has remained under the radar of the mainstream.

Fonkay Metal.......2004-03-25

It does not surprise me to see that many youngsters cannot (yet) tell the difference between Greg Howe and some run-of-the-mill shredder.
Just so you know where I am coming from: I am not a metalhead. Many guitarists are very good, I am sure, but I don't listen to their music because they bore me. Most of them never quite seem to manage to leave teentown.

I know the stuff very well. Been there, done that, all-out, 30 years ago: had hundreds of LPs of everybody with a guitar loud enough to blow their Marshall's. The fact is, the metal genre has produced a lot of pyrotechnicians but, really, very few musicians. You can count them all in one hand.

Then comes Greg. This guy STANDS OUT. A real natural. Amazing sense of rhythm and a great melodic sensibility.
No wonder: his musical intelligence is routed through (primarily)jazz, fused in a Hendrix reactor, using Funk plutonium.

Greg Howe is a FANTASTIC MUSICIAN and really deserves to be noticed more.
I would like to see him sell more, doing what he does best, what is close to his heart, so he would not have to make the kind of "neo-classical" junk he did in _Ascend_ to pay his bills. I cannot imagine a smart, sensitive guy like Greg sincerely going for that crap.

Listen to this guy's playing if you want to refine your ears for music in its FONKAY METAL MODE.
If you know, or want to know, the alchemical secret of how music's soul--yes, soul--moves even through the heaviest metal, give this guy a listen.

A master of the fretboard.......2004-02-24

Without a doubt Greg Howe is one of the best all time shredders around, It's a shame he hasn't gotten more recognition for his speechless playing. My guitar teacher introduced me to Gregs music back in the early 90's and i put him up there with Steve Vai,John Petrucci,Yngwie Malmsteen....If your looking to add to your "instramental" artist collection in the guitar dept. or your a guitar player looking to hear more then the popular guitarist you mostly hear, Then by all means pick up this CD..I promise you'll not be disapointed from the finger blistering scales played on "Faulty Outlet" to some of the most beautiful acustic melodies on "A Song For Rachelle" and ending it out with a blues fusion funk with "Second Thought"...Definantly a CD to wear out!!!!

Don't bother with Orkin.......2006-09-10

At first I hated this thing. There are songs about Ronald Reagan, Edward Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Dan Quayle, Russia, Bill Clinton - don't these guys keep up with current events? Then there's songs about weed, a long road trip, a city they hate, an a**hole hall of fame, cigarettes, a nasty lover-break-up, getting shot to death for singing somebody elses song (I think that's what it was), welfare cheaters, getting sick from a hangover, sickening executives, vomiting with the Partridge Family, a very long pee, high cost of living, political corruption, medical malpractise, stupid fables, and even anal sex! Maybe they need an insane asylum, or a complain-about-life-as-we-know-it TV show. I give it 5 stars because even if I didn't like it it still got my attention, held it, I can't stop laughing at it, I hum songs from it all the time, and I've never been able to forget about it. How did they do that??? This CD is like a giant termite - it bored through my defense and made me admit (as much as I didn't want to) that I absolutely love it.
