"For those unfamiliar with Steve Topping, you are missing a masterful guitarist whose virtuosity and diverse playing is unmatched. Topping runs the gamut from blues jams (Blueways) to the Tony Williams-influenced "Son of Spock." Well worth the investment."
Viva Holdsworth...

"This guy is definitely channeling Allan Holdsworth - he's even using Holdsworth's drummer. He uses a little bit more of a traditional tone, but a very similar approach to the guitar. So, if you like Holdsworth, you'll really like Steve Topping.
I dig this recording a lot. My guess is that people will fall into one of two categories - they will either "not get" it, or they will love it."
