There is a cinematic grandeur to this. I absolutely LOVE it and the album/CD from which it comes. Steve Vai is one of my most favorite musicians overall. As I rebuild my music collection, this will be one of my first-priority purchases. Epic stuff!
I have been a fan of Vai for around 13 years, and this album has taken a few years to fully appreciate. I immediately enjoyed Velorum and Weeping China Doll, though as far as the whole album, I stopped listening to it for a couple of years, revisited it and now I "get it". It makes sense, it is a joyful experience, and the journey of this whole album is incredible. John The Revelator is so groovy and funky, and The Moon and I is a masterpiece, to name a couple. What an epic piece of art Vai has created. I am so very grateful <3
