Cliched as it's sold as, it does truly sound in between "Flex-Able" and "Passion and Warfare". It should sound great and the extra tracks will be cool but I'm here for new music. It's Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien". And what he put together is what we all expected from our Vai guy. Yet Vai puts it together to feel as it's one cohesive thing put together in the same 3 month recording session. Players from Steve's old bands I didn't even know about like The Classified(which includes one of the best bass players here on planet earth Mr Stu Hamm!), and Vai regulars we all love like guitarist Dave Weiner, drummer Jeremy Colson, and multi talented Mike Kineally all add flair style to this already eccentric in concept album. Many songs have a mix of both, some all old and some all new using the same orchestration Steve and his fellow musical cohorts came up with back in the day. The way it's done from a musicians standpoint is so cool as the whole album is parts that were recently recorded, and many parts kept from original recordings from the early 80's. The album being reviewed here "Modern Primitive" is not just a out of the vault and off the shelf, remastered and here you go bs album. Which brings up my first and greatest point to which has been unspoken so far.
