The four members of the Pittsburgh area band Visual Cliff offer nine tracks of intense progressive fusion on their second CD, entitled Key To Eternity. Now, whether you're listening to progressive fusion, or fusion-inspired progressive rock can be debated, however the latter description may be a bit more accurate for most of the tracks. The fact that this debate could occur may be one of the strengths of their music, which is inspired by artists such as Alex Lifeson, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Allan Holdsworth and Pat Metheny. Guitarist Rob Perez, not a start to finish soloing show-off by any means, is probably more akin to Lifeson in his soloing approach, punctuating his tracks with short bursts of shredded insanity, melodic maelstroms and quietly passionate lines. Drummer Rick Mals, keyboardist Rob Klan and bassist Eric Fuller round out the quartet, which, based on their compositional strength and determination to grow and develop, should have a long recorded legacy in their future. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Hard Rock/Fusion), total running time, 42:11 - Visual Cliff @ iTunes!
