Original Album Classics

by Joe Satriani

Overview

Five albums from Joe Satriani -- picked seemingly at random but not unappealingly -- are collected on this budget-priced 2013 box set. The albums here -- Surfing with the Alien, Engines of Creation, Strange Beautiful Music, Is There Love in Space?, Super Colossal -- arguably showcase Satriani at his best, even if they don't focus on any particular time. Nevertheless, by bypassing his AOR crossover attempts of the early '90s, this winds up showcasing Satch's shredding at its purest and it's enjoyable and worthwhile at that level. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
