Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released at the peak of the shred guitar craze, this instrumental effort cements the virtuoso's reputation within the neoclassical scene. Accompanied by Jordan Rudess on keyboards, Moore delivers sweeping arpeggios and intricate compositions heavily indebted to baroque classical structures. The pristine execution and melodic focus set it apart from many of the purely athletic displays of the era's shred genre.
