Over the past two decades, Vinnie Moore has worn the guitar virtuoso sash better than most former beauty queens of the genre. Comparisons to Yngwie are inevitable, but what sets Moore apart from Malmsteen is his humility and reverence for his fans, bandmates, and contemporaries, acting as the consummate professional with class and grace (he also lacks the Baroque conceptual fuss that Yngwie so casually flails about). This collection is an overview of his tenure on the legendary guitar-shredding Shrapanel imprint, culling several tracks from his 1986 debut recording, Mind's Eye (featuring Tony MacAlpine on keyboards), and his last two offerings: 1999's Maze and 2001's Defying Gravity. It's a great overview of a solid and fruitful career and an accessible compilation to serve as a reference point to explore his other works. ~ Rob Theakston

Along with Greg Howe, Tony MacAlpine was the only other African-American guitarist on the Shrapnel roster in the '80s. As with the other artists on the label during this era, MacAlpine was certainly "fleet-fingered on the fretboard" -- in other words, he could solo extremely fast over a heavy metal accompaniment. MacAlpine has issued albums for the label on a somewhat ...

Brian Wilson admired him. Phil Spector was scared of him. In the roll-call of 1960s Hollywood record men, quixotic producer Gary S. Paxton was one of the most remarkable. This 32 track anthology not only traces his career, but also includes early and/or
As something of a less ruthless, more musically inclined Kim Fowley (with whom he briefly partnered in his early career), Gary Paxton was an interesting jack-of-all-trades. Working mostly in Hollywood, between the late '50s and late '60s he had his hand in innumerable records as a producer, songwriter, and performer. This compilation gathers 32 such tracks from that time, some of them previously unreleased, and most from very obscure singles, though it does include several hits with which he was involved: Skip & Flip's "It Was I," the Hollywood Argyles' "Alley-Oop," and Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash." Alec Palao's 28-page liner notes are so thorough, and so evocative of the early-'60s anything-goes Hollywood pop/rock scene, that some collectors will find them worth the price of this CD alone. That doesn't negate the fact, however, that most of the tracks on the CD are forgettably derivative of many trends in the era, from rockabilly, instrumental rock, and doo wop to Ricky Nelson (David & Lee's "Tryin' to Be Someone"), Bo Diddley (Renfro & Jackson's "Elephant Game, Pt. 1" is a pretty transparent takeoff on Diddley's hit "Say Man"), folk-rock (Mickey Rooney, Jr.'s previously unreleased "I Can Read Between the Lines"), Association-like harmony pop/rock (the Four Freshmen's 1966 single "Nowhere to Go"), novelty rock, uptown New York ...
