Shred overlord, Vinnie Moore, is back with a new set of tunes & a fresh guitar deal. To the Core is a timely reminder of why Mr. Moore remains to be one of the forerunners of all things very fast & melodic; the precision manifested here is also very scary, to say the least. We often get too nauseated by accelerated guitar playing because they demonstrate technicalities at the exclusion of memorable melodies- that's not what music is all about. To the Core contains some of the most memorable rhythm generated by this instrument & the tasteful mix of programming while keeping things guitar inclined.On that note, the guitars here sound very pleasant but let's be mindful that good tones include amps & every implementation in between.

Mr Sub,
Thanks for sharing.
Vinnie Moore remains at the top of my list of guitar heroes ever since I bought Mind's Eye in the 80s.
He even made Pepsi tastier than Coke with the awesome commercial.
Is "to the core" available now in the stores?
cheers. Ricfreak
i find mind's eye to be intriguing but very synthetic- technical but lacking in strong melody. i ordered this album through inokii...
