Joe Satriani
Not of This Earth
Genre: I think this is actually early Math Rock
3.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Hordes of Locusts
Ultimately, this record is fine but kinda dull. No? I mean I can appreciate it, I guess. It’s very sophisticated but also super antiseptic and uninteresting.
Satriani is a guitarist. I got it. Next.
From the Wikipedia entry:
“The album uses electronic drums rather than acoustic drums. The title track utilizes a unique compositional technique described by Satriani as pitch axis theory, which consists of shifting modes underneath a pedal tone (in this case, E). "The Enigmatic" uses the enigmatic scale.”
