...Track List
1. Surfing With The Alien- 4:25- This iconic opening track features wah-wah riffs far removed from anything else of its time and a almost legendary pull of solo, The Riff of this track makes it one of the most memorable songs on the album as well as one of the most technically brilliant

Advantages: Ethereal Guitar; Experimentation With Genres; He Tries Singing Disadvantages: He Tries Singing
...that holy day. Flying In A Blue Dream has a whopping 18 tracks on it, and runs well over an hour of playing time. I sat in my bedroom and listened to it straight through twice. The first time I think my mouth hung open the whole time. The second time it only hung open part-way through it. There is some incredible guitar-playing contained in this album...but that's true for all of Joe Satriani's releases. It's what he does. In the second track, "The ... ...a lot of ground with Flying in a Blue Dream. He tries out vocals, different styles and different instruments, as well as including several tracks of his signature power-guitar-playing. It's also a more produced album than Surfing With the Alien. It incorporates more filling in each song than just the basic guitar/bass/drums of Surfing... and correspondingly, sounds more full in the ear. Just like a microbrewed Stout or Porter has more "mouthfeel" ...

Advantages: Amust have for guitar aficionados Disadvantages: Maybe for a certain audience
Instrumental guitar albums played by guitar virtuosos are not to everyones taste. Indeed only guitar players tend to show an interest, but Joe Satriani has stradled the line between cult and mainstream more than most of his contempories. Self taught and teacher to other notable names in the field Satriani has released 15 albums highlighting his brand of distorted riffs and catchy leads. This anthology brings his best work under one package, encompassing ... ...abiltiy to deliver a song where the guitar sounds like a lead vocal by use of beautifully composed melodic licks is the secret to his succsess. Still his best works, his 1987 album "Surfing with the Alien" gets decent representation here. "Always with Me, Always with You" is an exceptional love song with a wonderful palm muted intro and haunting melody is the trump card, but is backed up by exquisite fret work on more rocking songs such as the 80s ...
Advantages: Classic satch styles, New styles Disadvantages: None
This album is definately not Satriani at his best - However thats not to say that this is a poor album. The album still contains classic satch attributes with its many hard hitting riffs and it's techniqual and melodic solos although he also experiments with new characteristics such as funk and electronic styles. Joe demonstrates on this album his versatility in style . He presents a wide range of styles going from the more gentle sounds of "Love ... ...like "Lights Of Heaven" and "Crystal Planet". For me, the tracks which stood out where "Crystal Planet", "Love Thing", "Train Of Angels" "Lights Of Heaven" and "Ceremony" which are all great examples of Satriani's outstanding work and would certainly enter the favourites of many Satriani fans . For any Satch Fan this is a must have. ...
