Crystal Planet is an all instrumental record finding Satriani taking more chances than ever. There are some familiar hard rock and ballad offerings, but what's amazing about this CD is that it shows Satriani's guitar technique continuing to develop and improve, as he explores every splinter of wood on his fretboard. Recorded with the great Stu Hamm on bass and Jeff Campitelli pounding the skins, the energy level is consistently peaked, and the solo work is astounding. Some consider Crystal Planet to be Satriani's finest all-instrumental effort since 1987's "Surfing With the Alien".
