 (1 Customer Review)
Jeff Beck's first all-instrumental album in a decade finds him tossing a few contemporary peppers into his pot of musical virtuosity. Reuniting once again with GUITAR SHOP keyboardist Tony Hymas, Beck maintains a balance between contemporary, Art Of Noise-flavored tracks ("Space For The Papa," "TX138") complete with delays, techno beats and looped guitars, and a reunion with '70s fusion running buddy Jan Hammer on the heavier, Van Halen-esque "Even Odds." Beck's musical range continues to impress as he easily moves between emotive blues phrasing ("Brush With The Blues"), fleet-fingered noodling ("Blast From The East") and more ethereal numbers that bring to mind Carlos Santana's solo work ("Hip-Notica.")
Beck's talent truly shines when he tackles Donal Lunny's "Declan." On it, guitar histrionics give way to Celtic arrangements that find Beck's guitar delicately dancing with Clive Bell's flute as images of foggy moors and rolling green hills float along. The brief solo piece "Another Place" could have been be an Adrian Legg outtake.
"What Mama Said" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
Personnel: Jeff Beck (guitar); Mark John (acoustic guitar); Jennifer Batten (electric & midi guitars); Bob Loveday (violin); Clive Bell (flute); Jan Hammer (keyboards, drums); Tony Hymas (keyboards); Simon Wallace (synthesizer); Randy Hope-Taylor, Pino Palladino (bass); Manu Katche (drums, percussion); Steve Alexander (drums).
Rolling Stone (4/1/99, p.100) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...the chrome-funk and ice-ballad instrumentals on WHO ELSE are all cut from the familiar wailing fusion cloth of Beck's mid-Seventies beauties....WHO ELSE is a feast of tone color and riff musculature..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/19/99, p.106) - "The techno-rhythm tracks and spacey melodies that threaten to engulf this still-adventurous gutiar hero's work may be dated and just this side of dumb, but few '60s-era ax-men have as much fun extracting outlandish sounds from their instruments as the original Beck..." - Rating: B Jeff Beck Who Else!

For JEFF, legendary guitar god Jeff Beck reunited with Andy Wright, the producer for Beck's prior effort, 2001's YOU HAD IT COMING. In keeping with the creative theme of his last album, the Wallington native avoids being hidebound to the kind of classic-rock rut into which so many of his peers have fallen. Instead, he maintains his edge as an innovative string-bender by embracing ...

As I write these notes, I realize that I've been playing guitar for nearly twenty years, and what a treat it has been. I'm still learning and still having fun. I tried to pick up the tempo with this project since "Better Slow Down" was generally mellow and introspective. Most of the material is in standard tuning, except for the slide guitar pieces, and played with my bare fingers instead of finger picks. All songs were composed and performed by myself, and recorded live using a Taylor 314 and Martin OM 16.The majority of this music was written during a period of major change in my life. At the beginning of 2006, my two year old son was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder. This news ...

Who Else! CD music
$5.95
After the enormous critical and commercial success of The Innocent Age, Dan Fogelberg waited three years to release his next studio album. The album posed several dilemmas for Fogelberg. Obviously, following up an album that was as ambitious and successful as The Innocent Age would be a daunting task for any artist. Secondly, the music scene had changed dramatically in the '80s. While The Innocent Age defied trends and tastes, for many, Fogelberg's sound, rooted in '70s rock, was quickly becoming passé and the sounds of punk, new wave, and dance-pop were dominating the times. Aside from the song "Language of Love," the album simply did not have the power of his previous efforts. Although still a better record than many artists of the time could even hope to make, ...
| | Tangent Not As Good As The Book CDs (2008)
Who Else! music CDs
$17.49
This prog super-group, comprising members of the Flower Kings, Van Der Graaf Generator, and Parallel or 90 Degrees, epitomize the best aspects of the so-called Canterbury school of British spectacle. On their fourth studio album, longish, ambulatory song structures and an energetic mood provide an uplifting and engaging listen that will make older prog fans nostalgic for the 1970s, while demonstrating to younger listeners just how it's done.
Progressive rock, for the most part, has not been known for having a strong sense of humor. It was shaped, after all, by musicians who believed that if third stream jazz musicians could exalt Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Chopin as their idols, there was no reason why rock musicians shouldn't do the same. But Not as Good as the Book is a prog rock release that definitely has a sense of humor; in fact, humor is a vital part of this CD set. A highly conceptual effort, Not as Good as the Book is written from the perspective of aging ...
