Free Music Notes for Personae
Free Music Review: Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was first introduced to Hellborg with his "Octave of the Holy Innocents" album. I have learned to love the creativity and pure insanity of this fusion artist. This album is shred-fest 2002. Everyone of the musicians are top notch and play with such perfection. For anyone out there who is into Fusion/Prog/Shred, this is a definite must for your collection! One of my first thoughts on this c.d was that the music wasn't that organized and it was kind of improv. The more I listened to it, the more I realized how organized the construction of every song actually is. BUY THIS ALBUM!!!
Free Music Review: Jazz/Metal, not for the faint of heart
Hit: 4 Stars
Hellborg is a wizard on the bass, fondling it sweetly one moment and slapping it silly the next, while keeping a solid foundation for Shawn Lane's warp 10 fretwork.As I've heard Hellborg & Lane on Michael Shrieve's "Two Doors", a couple of the tracks on Personae were familiar to me. They still kick [...], but I was looking for some fresh territory.
After I got over that, I was very pleased with the CD.
"Rice With The Angels" has Lane doing some incredibly fast and consistent runs that knock me for a loop every time I hear them.
A definite must hear for any rock guitarist. It'll take you places you've never been to.
Free Music Review: This is an amazing disc!
Hit: 5 Stars
Well...where do I begin. Well, for starts, I will claim this disc a treasure. Thru both persistance and curiousity I have aquired something that is truly inspirational. It has the right blend of attitude, rawness, and that extra special chutzpah that puts it into that special pantheon of other recordings that have had a similar effect on me. The select guitar albums in this pantheon are, Zappa's 'Shut Up N' Play Yer Guitar', Holdsworth's 'The Sixteen Men Of Tain' & Vai's 'The Ultra Zone' & 'Passion & Warfare'. 'Personae' is included with these pivotal and amazing recordings. It honestly does. These select recordings make me really wanna play. I definately can't carry a conversation or do anything else when listening to these and they suck my 'guitar-freak' mind into a unexplainable vortex. I've listened to the album more than a dozen times in a 3 day period. It was pricy but worth every cent. It hit me big time. It's theory may be heavily rooted in jazz improvisation but it totally rocks and rips with grace and beauty. I'm really glad I got this. 2 Big thumbs UP.Free Music Review: There's Still Hope for Progressive Music in the year 2002
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is great. It is so nice to hear progressive music of this caliber in the year 2002. Of course, you will never here this great music on any of your local radio stations. Most listeners wouldn't get the music. These guys are keeping the jazz/fusion field of music alive and well. All songs are instrumental. It is amazing how just 3 guys can create such a full sound. Shawn Lane keeps everything colorful with his amazing guitar playing, while Jonas and Jeff keep a powerful steady groove going underneath it all. Music is a cross between Allan Holdsworth and Joe Satriani. All songs are live, which is also amazing considering how tight the music is. Do yourself a favor. If you really want some brand new progressive rock/fusion, buy this CD. You won't be disappointed. The only thing I didn't care for was the artwork on the cover.Free Music Review: AWESOME...
