Aggressive for certain, the compositions are a balance of singing melodies, pyrotechnic hard rock technique, and fluid movement with well-defined direction and vision. I liked the melody-centric nature of the compositions that keep the compositions grounded. The two handed tap-on technique is used with good effect, though it could have been complimented with some sweep picking and the sort to give a little more dimension to the texture. But, Hill's style is what it is and it is distinctive as it is.MLH gets it going best on the driving track "Jibboom" that pulls all of the elements of his technique and style together with a powerful barrage that is nearly overwhelming in its drive and projection of vision. Another cool track on this CD is "Jimi's Communication". This track is built around the theme from "Third Stone from the Sun" by Jimi Hendrix and pays well-felt tribute to one of the original pioneers and forefathers of guitar-based instrumental rock.Followers of the Satriani / Vai school of hard-edged instrumental rock may want to check out this fast-paced, straight-laced, rock-based release from Michael Lee Hill.
