anniversary of a personal favorite of mine - for guitar fans

November 7, 1995: Greg Howe - Parallax - Shrapnel Records

Greg Howe (guitar, keyboard, engineering, mixing, production - Jon Doman (drums except track 7) - Kevin Soffera (drums track 7) - Andy Ramirez (bass) - Kenneth K. Lee Jr. (mastering)

"Parallax is the fourth studio album by guitarist Greg Howe, released on November 7, 1995 through Shrapnel Records ... Andy Hinds at AllMusic awarded Parallax 2.5 stars out of 5, describing it as following the same outline as Howe's two previous albums, Introspection (1993) and Uncertain Terms (1994). He said it 'doesn't offer any surprises, but delivers mind-blowing guitar performances by the truckload' and that 'guitar geeks will revel in the over-the-top decadence of this highly indulgent instrumental shred-fest.' As with Introspection, he criticized the album's production as 'rather clinical-sounding (especially those triggered drums)', but praised the evolution of Howe's guitar tone: 'His guitar tone has evolved from a brash, metallic sound (heard in his earlier work) to a smooth, compressed signal, which suits his extended legato forays quite well.'" -Wikipedia

[My comment: 2.5 out of 5 stars really?! No! That is a stupid for such a rating!]
