Five, an appropriate title for Howe's fifth Shrapnel release, was again completly recorded, produced, engineered and mixed by Greg Howe at his house. Howe even mans the drums on this one. This recording set the stage for Howe's teaming with Richie Kotzen for two releases "Tilt" and "Project". While some of the tracks are a step slower than some of the 'Allan Holdsworth on steroids' feel of some of his previous releases, there are still plenty of examples of Howe's fluid, dare-devil playing over polyrhythmic, funky, neo-bluesy rhythm beds. Five includes Howe's trademark shredding on exemplary tracks such as "Just Kiddin'" and "Acute". Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Fusion/Shred), total running time, 45:51
