"This album is not an actual Jason Becker Album, sorry to diappoint any Jason fans. However, it is a great look into the way Becker used to write and think when he was younger, on and off the road. There are actually no finished songs in this album - Only thoughts and ideas. But still, to a musician, this is a rare look into another musician's soul, into another musician's thoughts. Every musician in the world has his stack of unused ideas, whether on tape whether on paper, and it's allways interesting to listen to them. Especially if that musician just happens to be the one and the only Jason Becker."

"I have ben playing guitar for about 4 years and I have been looking for some other guitar players besides Greg Howe, Vai, and others like that and I went looking and I found this CD and man I was completly blown away .Just listening to this cd for 5 min. you will get hooked. I have already bought his other cd and one with Marty is on the way.He has so much harmony, speed,and style and his music is so beautiful.When i found out about ALS, and that he cant play any more it made me almost cry this has never happend to me before. He will always be my favorite guitar player. Go buy this cd and any others with him you will like what you hear. (I hope you will play again Jason and i hope you get better).Peace out Yall and enjoy the sweet tunes. Bill"

"OK, so Jason's music ain't Bach, but I'll tell you what, I've played music for over 15 years, and of all the Mozart,Bach,Beethoven I have heard, Jason's music has the same understanding and genius to it. I was a little dissapointed by the sound quality of a few tracks,but the insight into how his brain works is there..He is as good a composer as he is/was a musician. When I am really down in the dumps Jason's music is comming out of my speakers before the old classic dead guys (whom I have a great respect for..) And when Jason and Marty Friedman get together...dont even get me started ! The only reason Bach didn't play electric guitar is he didn't have one ! Have a good one !"
