| 3.5 great | GamamJ | August 13th 20 |
Spectacular playing and musicianship with too much variation for its own good. Let me explain. The guy can basically do anything, and so he does. Orchestral suites, boogies, jazz-fusion latino stuff, pure jazz-fusion etc. etc. The thing is, especially the Piano Concertino and Suite tracks completely ruin the flow to me no matter how good they might be on their own. Tracks like the opener and Esperanto are spectacular though.

The amount of subtle inflection that Shawn Lane puts into his notes is almost unfathomable. Master of the whammy vibrato.

Let's get it out of the way: Shawn Lane is quite possibly the fastest guitarist ever to walk the earth, his playing is utterly impeccable. But this is some terribly pretentious music. It reeks of self-indulgence; be it his "genius" emotive playing showcased with little thought to the repetitive, uninspired rhythm section, or the extremely ill-advised synth pieces, which redefine cheesy. It's a shame he's dead, but it's no disrespect to him to admit that this is no Passion and Warfare.

Shawn was a great player in his short time on this Earth. The Powers of Ten is his best album by far. Just listen to Get You Back or Epilouge (For Lisa) and tell me you don't find his music moving or brilliant. Shawn is very underrated and should be praised for his work. Give him a listen, i did and it changed the way i look at music.
