Personnel: Vinnie Moore (guitar); Jordan Rudes (keyboards); Michael Bean (bass); Joe Franco (drums). Recorded at Kajem/Victory Studios, Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. During the post-Van Halen shred eruption of the '80s, only a few guitarists made anything that resembled a unique musical statement. For every Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, there were a dozen Joey Tafollas. Perhaps the most groundbreaking musician of this era was Yngwie Malmsteen. The Swedish virtuoso had many imitators, and Vinnie Moore was chief among them. After a successful debut on shred-specialty label Shrapnel Records, Moore landed a deal with Mercury and released Time Odyssey at the height of solo rock guitar excess in 1988. On the disc's first two tracks, "Morning Star" and "Prelude/Into the Future," Moore tosses off some guitar harmonies that bear a huge resemblance to Deep Purple (an acknowledged Malmsteen influence). Moore then glides through a few competent, slightly passive rock numbers before Time Odyssey's most impressive cut, "Race With Destiny." Unfortunately, this neo-classical number is an utter Malmsteen rip-off. Of the imitators, Moore ranks high, due to his accurate playing and warm tone, but offerings like Time Odyssey are missing the emotional substance and/or technical innovation they need to be considered important shred documents. ~ Vincent Jeffries Time Odyssey Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   And Now He is with UFO! Vinnie Moore can shred with the best of them. He is an amazing musician with an excellent ear for what is melodic, rhythmic, and harmonious. My only negative criticism is that he does not allow Jordan Rudes to express himself fully on the keyboards. Otherwise, I am well pleased, indeed!

This one is different This one is different. Like any other guitarist to come out of the Shrapnel record label, (this cd however came from Mercury) Vinnie Moore can definately tear it up. He makes so many guitarists out there look like first year students. However, Vinnie Moore also knows just when to throw in a good melody. This isn't just mindless speed. The songs are very well written, and very well put together. His variation of Air on a G string and Piano Concerto #5, as well as While My Guitar Gently Weeps are excellent.

I like this CD I remember the time I saw Vinnie Moore on stage. Probably around '88 or '89. Vinnie Moore recorded this album at Kajem Studios just outside of Philadelphia in January 1988. Submitted by Mrrrrrrrj (Pittsburgh, PA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Recording information: Prairie Sun Studios, Cotati, CA. After Yngwie Malmsteen set the guitar world on fire with his 1984 debut, Rising Force, it was amazing how quickly the clones came out of the woodwork. Within a couple years there were dozens of them, flooding the market with their recorded instrumental extravaganzas. Tony MacAlpine was one of the Yngwie followers, to a certain degree. His debut album, Edge of Insanity, with its all-star rhythm section of Steve Smith and Billy Sheehan (drums and bass, respectively), follows the rough blueprint of Yngwie's model. Soloing over dramatic minor key vamps, MacAlpine catalogs his impressive licks ...
