Lucid Intervals And Moments Of Clarity Part 2 is a new compilation of Michael Angelo Batio's third ("Tradition") and fourth ("Lucid Intervals and Moments of Clarity") solo CDs, remastered and repackaged onto one CD. This CD includes studio versions of Batio's classic instrumental songs "Prog" and "The Finish Line" plus great songs like "She Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and "Lucid Intervals And Moments Of Clarity". "China" kicks off the CD, and the main riff is in 6/4 time and very heavy -- almost like a Megadeth riff. Michael then states the main melody and away he goes. His fluid style sends notes gliding and flying all over the fretboard. His thick, round sound making the unbelievable passages seen easy and effortless. Michael starts "The Finish Line" with a be-bop jazz phrase and has a guitar choir back him up. Then the songs kicks in and it goes onto a boogie type progression. "Prog" starts with a very neoclassical intro and then turns into one of the "coolest" grooves and melodies that Michael has written with him playing in the Phrygian mode over "tribal" rhythms. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Shred/Hard Rock), total running time, 69:00 - Michael Angelo Batio @ iTunes!
