Album review:
"Every track on the album is at least pretty good. "The Claw" by Clint Black is a tricky piece deftly handled. "Java Man" by Michael Hedges is a work of virtuosity. "Liquid Amber" by Laurence Juber has all the dreaminess the title implies. "Marina" by Skip Ewing and B.J.Walker Jr. is one the most lovely, sun drenched, yet melancholy pieces of music you'll ever hear. But the most brilliant work on the album has to be "Sadhana" by Steve Stevens. This vibrant, rhythmically manic tour through the possibilities of the guitar has to be heard to be believed. Great sound, balance and superb artist selection." -- "Timothy" (Lake Woebegone, Minnesota)
