Full review
Jason Becker although not very well known these days, was a guitar virtuoso widely tipped to be one of the worlds top musicians during the 1980's, Jason started his musical career in metal/shred/neo-classical band known as Cacophony, with marty friedman (formally megadeth lead guitarist) who realeased 2 albums in the late 80's titled "speed metal syphony" and "GO OFF!"

After his work with Marty, Jason Becker began work on this album "perpetual burn" this album is one of my all time favourites, it features very clever sweep picking melodys as well as beautiful clean sections and classical style playing, I would definately recommend this album to any guitarists looking for either a challenge to play or any intrested in neo-classical.

Jason Becker's style in my opinion is comparable to that of other guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen and i would recommend it to anyone into virtuoso style guitar playing such as steve vai, joe satriani, paul gilbert etc

After recording this album, Jason replaced Steve Vai in rock super group, "David Lee Roth band" shortly after starting the album " A little AIn't Enough" Jason began to have trouble playing and was diagnosed with the progressive motor neurone disease "ALS" and was rendered unable to play, Therefore this album is one of the only Jason Becker albums available where he is still able to play his instrument and shouldnt be missed by big music fans.

Jason is still composing despite his condition using only his eyes and a computer and is a constant inspiration to many musicians worldwide, check this album out!
