Calm Like A Bomb Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 To me this album is the greatest instrumental album to have ever been made. Not only does it have the classic songs such as SWTA and SB but it also has the awesome Lords Of Karma which is my personal favourite. What do you guys think of the album and do you the think it's Satrianis best work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsys Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I used to listen to this a lot. It is still one of my favourite albums. Check this documentary out: Some good stuff in there.

moreblack Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 To me this album is the greatest instrumental album to have ever been made. There's some great ones out there, for me it'd be Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow or Billy Cobham's Spectrum.

artfromtex Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've got the remastered version. It's an album I can play on repeat and never get bored of itman, get on eBay and try to find the original version. it sounds so much better than the remaster.it's quieter, but much more balanced and dynamic. when you crank it, it really rocks.here's one for $7.49 plus shipping:http://cgi.ebay.com/Joe-Satriani-Surfing-Alien-CD1987-RELATIVITY-/200553771812?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item2eb1efb324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
