Greatest Hits [Steel Box Collection]. Alice Cooper. But, as in the Planet X recordings, it is all just a little too clever for its' own good, and is an album that will probably not be played much in the future, as too much intensity and note density can be plain boring.
Malmsteen's influence on the tracks he appears is more than evident, these two pieces along with the opening introduction have an obvious Neo-Classical flavor due to his highly technical solos. The rest of the album can be actually labeled as Fusion Metal with plenty of atmospheric soundscapes added for good measure. Sherinian again provides a virtuosic keyboard performance with tremendous pyrotechnics, grandiose preludes and powerful solos, while the guitars remain aggressive and punchy all the way.
The biggest suprise comes from the brief but highly original acoustic crescendos of Di Meola, which have their own sound and spark. Derek's style has always been a little jazzy, and on previous solo albums, and the albums by his main band Planet X, are a nice mix of jazz, jazz-fusion, and progressive metal.
At times he'll even let loose and go completely post-bop amidst the prog-metal. On "Oceana", the jazz and fusion style is pushed to the foreground, leaving only traces of his famous brand of prog-metal.
Lots of funky bass, excellent fusion drumming, and with guitarists Tony MacAlpine and Steve Lukather, you know you're going to get some real jazz-fusion guitar ala Scott Henderson; mixed with some heavy riffs here and there.
Seriously, if you are familiar with Planet X or Derek's solo stuff, but wished he'd do a real jazz-fusion album, this is it. Every track here is high quality modern fusion, with great soulful guitar, nice keyboard sounds and solos, but also fast technical stuff that occasionally reminds me of fusion bands like Tribal Tech, Jan Hammer Group, or Return To Forever.
Add a little heaviness from the guitars and keys , and you have a modern fusion classic. Review by Starhammer Prog Reviewer.
For me this was one of the more pleasant surprise of I can't say I was expecting much having spent the last two years trying and failing to appreciate Molecular Heinosity , but several key changes make Oceana not only a more enjoyable experience, but also one of Sherinian's best works to date.
The Good: Firstly, his keyboards are more prominent and don't just sit behind the guitars like in recent outings. This recalls a style more similar to his debut solo release, Planet X. And then there's the lineup.
Prolific session musician Simon Philips returns with another excellent, yet understated contribution as drummer and co-writer. The third appealing aspect of this release is it's total lack of vocals, something that has been 'missing' from Sherinian's recent solo output. The Bad: Oceana is a very consistent album with nine great compositions. It has certainly become a regular feature amongst my playlists.
But considering it from a 'prog' angle I find it to be a bit too predictable with rigid song structure and a 'less than smooth' transition between musical passages. The Verdict: One of the strongest instrumental releases of
