I think that several of SAtch's best are on his earlier albums anyway, Memories from not of his earth, Crushing Day, Lords of Karma, Echo, Midnight (surfing), etc. I'm not that keen on his last two albums but Crystal Planet had some great music on it. Maybe The Extremist was his peak for me (like the solo on Why!) and Flying.. was patchy but contains some of his best playing. There's only so far anyone can advance, I think the G3 guys are near their playing limits unless they start playing 2 guitars or stick or improvise in weird freaky scales or something.
