In few words, if you thought no shred album deserved your attention this one could be your medicine. And well, if you are into rock guitar and like melodically interesting virtuoso instrumentals, this is absolutely what you are begging to listen to. That's why I give five well-earned stars to "Out Of Nowhere". It has become one of my preferred shred albums ever... out of nowhere! :-) So, from now on I swear I will speak positively about Vinnie Moore, who is definitively one of the greatest metal guitarists of all times. Thank you for the music, Vinnie!

The cool thing about this album is it combines the feel of a fun bluesy-rock album, the raw vibe of a metal album, with the thorough music knowledge/hyper-technical proficiency of a neo-classical album. Other than the fact it's a guitar instrumental, it's not stuck in one genre and it's definitely not boring! I can hear the styles of Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen and Greg Howe, just to name a few, all on this one album...worth the money.

Time Odyssey was Vinnie Moore's 1988 follow up to "Mind's Eye" and was released on the Squawk label (a division of PolyGram Records), which also released the amazing "Maximum Security" by Tony MacAlpine. This release ontinues the neo-classical metal backdrop of his first album, while keeping shred guitar fans happy with cuts like "Prelude/Into The Future" and "Race With Destiny". Moore pays homage to the Beatles and George Harrison on Time Odyssey with a wang bar enhanced version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". The piece "April Sky" is classically influenced as Moore takes notes and inspiration from Bach's "Air On A G String" and "Piano Concerto No. 5 (Second Movement). Keyboard player Jorden Rudes also contributes in the songwriting department on "Prelude", "Into The Future" and "Message In A Dream". Guitar Nine Records wrote
