et another action-packed CD by ace guitarist Ray DeTone! This is quite an album, and covers a very wide musical spectrum. Some may like the diversity, and some may not, but no matter how you look at it, you get your money's worth of great music here. Ray has presented tunes that span heavy rock/metal, acoustic, eastern, jazz, techno, etc. Some tunes utilize vocals, some do not. The mix of styles helps to contrast the different pieces, and makes for an interesting and potent presentation. A surprise at every turn. I personally most enjoyed the instrumental rock and jazz type tunes... great playing, chops, nice ideas, a very respectable level of quality overall. Recording quality and production are superb as well. Some of the tunes include the hard-driving ace drum work of Van Romaine. DeTone plays with lots of feel, very smooth, and always in control. Nice work from a talented player.
