A follow-up to his first electric instrumental foray ("Adventures of the Imagination"), this 2001 Shrapnel release reveals a slightly heavier side of Schenker that shred fans should appreciate. Joined by Cosmo Squad rhythm section Shane Gaalaas and Barry Sparks, the talented Mr. Schenker is never forced to slow down on MS 2000: Dreams and Expressions while his musical cohorts catch up. There are no track names (just 20 numbers that correlate to the amount of letters in the record's title, plus one bonus song), so listeners need only punch in numbers four, nine, 17, and 20 (A, D, I, and S, respectively) on their CD players in order to find the record's standout cuts. While some of the material comes across as a trifle undeveloped, all the technical acuity and musical confidence is there to make this a worthwhile offering, recommended especially for fans of Satriani-esque instrumental rock. ~ Vincent Jeffries

BAD cd. I've heard some nice stuff from Michael Schenker. But this cd is a total waste of time. Nothing special. Michael, take yourself in hands you can do much better. Submitted by roeedo (Jerusalem, Israel.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
schenker rocks just more brilliant guitar work Submitted by michaelhubbard608 (england) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Really cool stuff - some short, but sweet! This is kind of a different collaboration of instrumental tunes from Michael Schenker. Songs vary quite a bit in length, some being very short. There are some really cool riffs and great playing throughout. This definitely shows the great ability Schenker has to write with incredible style and creativity carrying on his signature sound that is undeniably all his own. Love it!

$13.89 UFO guitarist extraordinaire Michael Schenker is back with his first all-instrumental effort. He teased listeners in his early UFO days with instrumentals like "Lipstick Traces" and "Arbory Hill." Now Schenker ...
$14.29 THANK YOU is an acoustic instrumental album by Michael Schenker.
The first of many instrumental and alternately arranged forays into more dynamic musical realms, Thank You is Teutonic shred head Michael Schenker's acoustic side trip into the warm and fuzzy soft rock landscape. During the harmonic high notes ("Courage and Confidence," "Love and Kindness"), Schenker does his best to squeeze out some rapid solos and generally treats his acoustic guitar as if it were anything but. The overdubbed picking exercises on "Endless Possibility" take the tendency toward spatially challenged 16th-note misappropriation to its most uncomfortable extreme. The blood of brother Rudolf can be heard as it courses ...
