Free Music Notes for Where the Wild Things AreFree Music Review: Shall We Say, Uh.... Fusion is back!
Having just watched Steve Vai's live in Minneapolis "Where The Wild things Are" DVD, exerpts from which comprise the CD now made available, I have to say that a new fusion-muse appears to have crept into his work. My previous impressions of Vai's work were always tainted by what I viewed as over-the-top guitar-gimmicry, offering little or nothing new of redeeming musical value, hopelessly confined to the same old boring, four-four rock pantheon. I have to say that, carefully studying his most recent release and work, I am duly impressed. I have always purchased his past work, hoping that he would change his evil ways and move away from his over-the-top Zappa-imitations - there was, truly, only ONE Frank Zappa. Here he blends his outstanding musicianship with all the familiar elements of that dreaded word FUSION, namely polyrhythms, -chording and -tonality. With duel-violinist accompaniment, an electric sitar player and a very accomplished drummer (despite the outlandish tatoos!), one could swear one was watching John McGlaughlin's original Mahavishnu Orchestra tearing it up and pushing the popular sonic envelope forty years ago! Hopefully this most pleasant change and metamorphosis will continue. If only Joe Satriani would follow a similar muse, of which he is totally, perhaps moreso than Vai, capable. Alas, I guess the ridiculous Pop band Chickenfoot, which he currently axes for, is paying the light bills all too well! Long live "The Bells of Lal, Parts 1 & 2", Joe!
