Yeah, the GPS is a prog rock album, the solo album "Erotic Cakes" is rock instrumental stuff with some jazz/rock and a few other styles, kind of Steve Vai meets Eric Johnson meets Bumblefoot (who actually plays on the album), and the Aristocrats is a little more jazz/rock instrumental but with some rock stuff, a little bluesy stuff and some other stuff. It's maybe a little quirkier than Erotic Cakes.   Sounds interesting.

Well this is a new band, they got together last year to make their first record which came out in September.

I like them solely in a nostalgic sense these days. They bring nothing to the table now.

I'm listening to Asia's Silent Nation. It's a pretty good album. I got it soon after it came out, mainly because at the time it was just about the only album out there that featured Guthrie Govan!

 

At first I wasn't too impressed but it's really grown on me and the guitar playing is fantastic!
