This album is a delight from beginning to end, with Meier travelling many different roads, showing there is so much which can be gleaned from an electric guitar and while he has been influenced by Beck, one can also hear Steve Vai in what he performs, along with Allan Holdsworth and John McLaughlin. It is a very melodic release, and the duet with Lizzie Ball on “Yemen” is nothing short of beautiful. What makes this album such a delight is the way Meier blends in so many different styles, from fusion to rock, from Eastern music to progressive, and while he can shred when the need arises this album is all about musicality and using skills to get the right sonic results as opposed to just showing off technique.Read the full review by Kev Rowland at progressor-net.blogspot.com
