Mother Head's Family ReunionMother Head's Family Reunion by Richie Kotzen
Buy new: $46.98 / Used from: $44.99
I love Richie's voice AND guitar playing! This is a mover.
The Art of Navigating by the StarsThe Art of Navigating by the Stars by Sieges Even
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $12.30
These guys are awesome. Great vocals, excellent musicianship, a really solid piece of work. Not heavy progmetal but should appeal to music lovers! :-)
ThudThud by Kevin Gilbert
Buy used from: $15.00
I know his Shaming Of The True cd gets most of the acclaim, but don't miss this gem from an artist that was truly taken too early. Kevin's songwriting moves me everytime. I miss him...
MilliontownMilliontown by The Frost
Buy used from: $40.00
I am recommending this cd for its songwriting, production, and on the fact there will be no more from them. Frost is not merely a Spock's type clone.
OnOn by Electric Outlet
Buy new: $22.98 / Used from: $55.10
this power quartet jams it up bigtime. purely instrumental in the Spaced Out or Counter-World Experience vein.
Gordian KnotGordian Knot by Gordian Knot
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $6.20
Most people are aware of this cd, but if you aren't....take note. Project by ex-Cynic bassist Sean Malone is a sonic assault in the best way. Sample, sample, sample
One of a KindOne of a Kind by Bill Bruford
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.00
One of the best fusion albums ever made!!
MercyMercy by Altura
Buy used from: $2.78
I found this back when Magna Carta just started. I fell in love with it from the beginning. It can be hard to listen to at first but the compositions and hooks really grow on you. unfortunately it is their only attempt...
Four O'Clock and HysteriaFour O'Clock and Hysteria by Alan Morse
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $10.60
While being extremely Jeff Beck Blow by Blowish, this cd succeeds in sounding fresh. Highly recommended.
NiacinNiacin by Niacin
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.35
If you love power trio, Hammond B3, and Billy Sheehan then this is a must have. Oh...did I mention one of the greatest drummers of our time, Dennis Chambers is in the band... It doesn't get much better than these guys!
FormlessFormless by Aghora
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.88
Wow... This thing cooks. Check it.
LoveLove by Dramagods
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $68.20
No, really...it is a phenomenal cd. Hooks galore, great retro drum sounds, great guitar. Solid work.
Uncle Moe's Space RanchUncle Moe's Space Ranch by Brett Garsed
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $9.00
This is fusion at it's best. TJ Helmerich and Brett Garsed are incredible guitarists, and they are joined by Gary Willis (Tribal Tech), and my man Dennis Chambers. A special treat.
Coming ThroughComing Through by Ryo Okumoto
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $6.99
A wonderful cd that ranges from pop to classical. Killer musicianship all the way through. Well balanced with appearances from Neal Morse, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, Simon Phillips, and his current band mates.
VictorVictor by Alex Lifeson
Buy used from: $1.97
An often missed gem from Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson. Great cd!!! At times very dark, funny, and unexpectedly complex. Highest recommendation!
TransmitterTransmitter by Spiraling
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $5.89
Best pop out there. Great songs, hooks, melody...
From the AshesFrom the Ashes by Sphere of Souls
Buy new: $22.98 / Used from: $10.18
ex-Sun Caged vocalist Andre Vuurboom has a new band and they are cool. Great stuff, memorable songs.
The Paranormal HumidorThe Paranormal Humidor by Somnambulist
Buy used from: $11.49
A collision of Yes and Soundgarden which on a simple (and easily marketable) level is true, so says one reviewer. I just think it's great music. Highly recommended.
