Is Train of Thought their latest album? I bought it yesterday. It was a relief to hear it having also just bought and listened to the first five tracks of the latest Satriani album "Is there love in space" which seemed like a rehash of previous lead lines with chugging dumb rock power chords. Why doesn't satch play weird time signatures? Hi phrasing's gone a bit bland. I think he's painted himself into a corner.
I loved Train of Thought; it's one of their heaviest albums and I had worried they might sell out and quit playing mad instrumental music No fear! . The instrumental track sounds a bit like Mettalica's Orion only it's cleverer (as you'd expect).
I have heard that a band called Spock's Beard are rather like DT only "much cooler" apparently... must hear those guys!
