Plenty to enjoy from the jazzy refrain of '10 Seconds To Mercury' through to the out and out shred fest that is 'Fire Mountain'. The album finishes with a gentle classical piece 'The Dedication', based on Robert Schumann. Throughout the album he is ably backed by fellow Planet X band mate drummer Virgil Donati and acclaimed drummer Marco Minneman.
Perfect for a change from vocal albums and most importantly Tony MacAlpine knows how to keep a decent melody going, thus gibing his music a wider audience outside of the small, but dedicated fanbase of guitar instrumental albums.
