Territory
The Story
Originally released in 1986 on Passport Jazz Records, "Territory" has been remastered in 2005 by Ronnie Montrose - a good thing, since Passport Jazz went out of business. Some consider this to be one of Montrose's most underrated album of the '80s. "Territory" has been described as clean and very well put together, with a hint of Eno, but all Ronnie Montrose, with smashing guitar and unbelievable drum and voice effects. Edgar Winter makes an appearance on saxophone, while Hilary Hanes handles bass, and a trio of drummers (Steve Bellino, John Hanes, Andre B. Chapman) keep the rhythms.
