 (1 Customer Review)
VERTICAL INVADER is the 1990 track release by Italian guitar player Alex Masi. The album contains 10 tracks including "Rhythm Workers," "Silver Memories," and "Dance Of Floda."
This release, the second "solo" album by Masi, is a true instrumental record. Whereas the first release, Attack of the Neon Shark, included several other musicians, Masi is accompanied here only by John Macaluso (Malmsteen/T.N.T.) on drums. This one also foregoes the variety of style that he showcased on the previous album. Instead, this time he focuses his efforts thoroughly on the aggressive neo-classical hard rock styles. This prevents the feeling of lack of direction that marred the previous album, but also tends to limit this one a bit. To be fair, it should be noted that the jazz and fusion elements are not completely missing here, they are just integrated more into the overall texture of the release, rather than bouncing from song to song. Comparisons to many artists are understandable (Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth, Frank Zappa), but the total of the sound is all Alex Masi. The sheer virtuosity and compositional talents of Masi make for an album that should please fans of the genre a lot, but those who are put off a bit by this type of music will find it less interesting than its predecessor. Masi's sense of putting the song structure in a place of importance rather than just creating pieces of music that only serve as venues for soloing does elevate this above a lot of that genre, though. ~ Gary Hill

Vertical Invader album
 $21.00   
Comprised of 18 tracks culled from the singer/composer's first three decades, The Very Best of Enya was pieced together by the artist herself, along with longtime collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. Luckily, the trio seems enamored by most of the same songs that the general public is, resulting in one of those rare "greatest-hits" collections that goes deep without depriving the listener of the essentials. With tunes like "Orinoco Flow," "Caribbean Blue," and "Book of Days" in ...

On Fort Yawuh, Keith Jarrett is joined by Dewey Redman (tenor sax), Charlie Haden (bass), Paul Motian (drums), and Danny Johnson (percussion) to produce this set recorded live at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York City on February 24, 1973. About two minutes into "Fort Yawuh," Jarrett prepares the listener for a piano solo by announcing himself with quick and sharp keyboard jabs that evolve into spared and beautiful crescendos that before too long involve the soulful wails of Redman on the sax. The following song, "De Drums," is the one track that really swings on this album. Another long one, at 12 minutes in length, "De ...

Vertical Invader music CDs

Part mellow and part goth is what best describes “Angels and Demons”(in German “Engel und Daemonen”), Johnny Cash meets Pink Floyd. All of the musicians on the album are influenced by the Beatles and other groups of that era. Justin Johnson is a 26 year old singer-songwriter who lives in Nashville, Tennessee. He sings in English and German. Twelve of the songs on “Angels and Demons” ar in English and two are in German. Steeped in the tradition of the Beatles, Zep, Pink Floyd, the Stones, and Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Justin's baritone voice lends itself well to a wide variety of music including rock, country, and jazz. Justin has lived in Boston, Chicago, California, and Germany. As a child Justin listened to Willie Nelson, Queen, and Neil Diamond. At the age of 13 he began playing classical piano, and at the same time discovered the Beatles. Over the next several years he listened to the Beatles, the Beatles, and more Beatles. A friend from the swim team made him a tape of psychedelic music, which interested him more in music from this era. Mostly self-taught on guitar, he began listening to Hendrix, Clapton, and Frank Sinatra. After highschool Justin moved to Nashville and for two years recorded songs meant for country singers. Then he began recording for himself. The musicians on his debut album Angels and Demons’Engel und Daemonen have toured with innumerable big acts including Robert Plant, Richard Thompson, Allison Moorer, Tanya Tucker, and several Nashville groups, and have played on innumerable indie projects. Piano player and keyboardist Robert Chevrier has toured with Tanya Tucker and and played with Raul Malo. Steel and dobro player Mike Daly has toured with Hank Williams, Jr. and Allison Moorer. Clive Gregson played guitar with English rocker Richard Thompson before founding Gregson and Collister and then having a solo career. He has also toured with Robert Plant and Nanci Griffith. Clive plays guitar and accordian on the album. Brian Pepo plays bass and adds a harmonica track. Brian has released a self-produced album with Nashville studio band Careless Sherman. Guitarist and album producer Fett, violinist Tim Lorsch, and drummer Chip Abernathy fill out the roster. The album was recorded at Azalea Studios, where Davey Jones from the Monkees and Tommy Emmanuel have also recorded. Aside from music, Justin was also a competitive swimmer at a young age. He held state records and was on the fastest highschool team in the United States. ...
