Yngwie has always been an amazing guitarist.., no one really has doubted that. This CD is a wonderful change in that the entire album is played on acoustic. Think of it as Yngwie for the masses if you will. Still, there is all of the insane guitar playing that is in your typical Yngwie cd. If you aren’t a big fan of his vocal songs, and if you into more of his compellingly beautiful acoustic pieces.., this CD is for you!
In his first acoustic album, Malmsteen plays acoustic versions of his old songs, except for one new composition. There actually is some electric guitar on the album, but is only in the background on some songs. Most acoustic work is on a steel-string, and on a few songs he does sound like Al DiMeola. As usual his playing is flawless and at times jaw-dropping. If you are a fan of the acoustic guitar (or a Yngwie fan) this is for you.
The music itself is stunningly beautiful. Complex compositions that can be listened to with ease, Obviously since the player is Yngwie J. Malmsteen the level of muscianship is unworldly! I play this whole cd every night for the past several weeks I've had it. Highly recommended,5 STAR plus!
I love this album, if you love beautiful music you will love this one, wish he would make more like it.
I THINK THIS CD IS SUPERB.NOT ALL COVERED UP BY DISTORTION.THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT ALL OF HIS GUITAR LICKS ARE THE SAME ON EACH ALBUM.NOTHING MUCH CHANGES.THIS DOES SEEM MORE PERSONAL THOUGH.PRETTY TUNES.THE FIRST TRACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
