Free Music Notes for Introspection
Free Music Review: Another winner from Greg
Hit: 4 Stars
This recording is definately worth having in the collection. Great guitar playing and smooth tone with lots of cool hook tunes and superb solos. I can listen to this disc all the way through. The only downer for me would be the fact that his drummer is playing an electronic drumkit and the drum tone is awful. The drumming itself is decent but not what you would expect from an album of this caliber. Even with that, Gregs playing shines above and beyond any other faults you may find in this recording. Get it and enjoy.Free Music Review: Introspection for the Soul
Hit: 4 Stars
When Greg Howe first arrived in the mid 80's with his debt release "Greg Howe", the music community knew there was a new talent not to be denined. Grown tired of the "Foo-Foo" hair rock of his early day, Greg exploded on to the fusion/jazz-rock scene with this fire breathing, passion filled, harmonic wonder of a guitar album. Greg more than proves for legions of guitar critics that speed, flair, and grooving melody can be best friends within a song.Free Music Review: A real grower
Hit: 3 Stars
My original review only gave 3 stars. Thing is, I've listened to this several times since and it is a real grower. I guess i was judging it using his debut and 'High gear' as yardsticks. Ironically, there's a lot more subtlety, feel and depth on 'Introspection' than on those 2 albums. Some posters here has alluded to it as jazz fusion. No, it's got far more of a blues feel, except that it's taken blues to stratospheric levels that orginal bluesmen couldn't have dreamed of. Like Satch and unlike most other 'shredders', Greg Howe comes up with strong melodies as well as lightning fast light fingered fretwork. I haven't heard a better player in any genre since discovering 'Surfing with the alien' back in 1988.Free Music Review: he's done better
Hit: 3 Stars
There is definetly some catchy stuff on this CD (and, of course, many mind blowing solos), but I like some of his other albums much better (his debut album, Uncertain Terms and Parallax).
