Not of This Earth was Joe Satriani’s debut album and wow. This is an eclectic collection of songs. Since Satch didn’t have a ton of money to make this recording the songs have simple drums/percussion and he plays bass on the tracks as well as the guitar.I don’t think that those two things make a difference. This is simply one of the greatest debut albums by anybody period. The title track is simplistic but it is a good introduction to a guitarist with his own style.”The Headless Horseman” is a technique driven tune but it is also a lot of fun. One can picture the title character riding through the night creating mayhem. “Rubina” is dedicated to his wife and contains a great use of mood in the intro, a nice melody and one of the most emotional solos ever recorded. “The Snake” is Satch at his funky best. “Driving at Night” is the tune that, even if you didn’t know the title of the song, would be the one to listen to on the expressway. Joe shows that he is an artist by painting a musical picture of pounding the pedal to the floor. He does break out some blinding licks but the song isn’t about technique it is all about creating a picture through sound. This is one of Joe’s best songs and it is dissapointing that he hasn’t played it live since the first tour.”The Enigmatic” is named after the mode that it uses. Joe sounds like Holdsworth at times but he does add his own flavor to the legato laced tune. This is one of Joe’s wildest creations. This disc shows how music can give mental pictures from the audio. Joe is an artist in every sense of the word on this Cd and any guitarist or musician that doesn’t own it should buy it immediately.

Guitar god Satriani’s 1989 release “Flying in a Blue Dream” is just outstanding.
He just rocks from the beginning to the end of the disc.
From the opening number, the title track “Flying in a Blue Dream” to the final track “Into the Light” this is a well-balanced recording.
This is his first venture into singing. “Can’t Slow Down”, “Big Bad Moon” and the hit “I Believe” are all Satriani on vocals and he doesn’t do too bad of a job. I missed this disc when it first came out and I just picked it up at the local music store and I’m glad I did. Check this classic out.

A little cynicism is to be expected when a veteran guitar virtuoso jumps on the electronica bandwagon. But Joe Satriani, who takes that route with Engines of Creation, remains head and shoulders above most guitar gods through sheer good taste. Most of Engines is very good, and Satriani deserves credit at the very least for daring and inventiveness. However, its appeal will likely be largely limited to Satriani fans; it’s difficult to imagine hardcore electronica heads getting down to this sort of thing, although the final two tracks consist of great chill music. Satriani makes effective use of the flexibility inherent in the genre’s repetitiveness: often, he just lets the backing tracks play and solos over them, coming up with some truly otherworldly sonic exploration

One of the most innovative voices in contemporary American music, guitarist Joe Satriani celebrates two decades as a recording artist by releasing yet another consistently strong and refreshing platter of soulful goodness. Like his former student and sometime sparring partner Steve Vai, Satriani shows his virtuosity rests not only in his command over his instrument but also in his command of composition. “It’s So Good,” “One Robot’s Dream,” and the title cut are constructed with a master’s sense of harmony, melody, and rhythm. Satch still shreds without compromise, as he demonstrates on “Bedshift Riders,” but he also reminds us that he can compose gentle works of soul-stirring elegance as evidenced by “Ten Words,” “A Love Eternal,” and “A Cool New Way.” With Super Colossal Satriani holds his place as one of the most imaginative and inspired minds of his–or any–musical generation.
