Here I Am: This is again a rather straight song, and a nice change after the previous two weird tunes. The following 2 minutes are pure Jazz Fusion, remotely similar to parts of the Fire Garden Suite. The song is based on some futuristic sounding chord progressions, and flows rather nicely for about three minutes. And yes, he plays on all three necks simultaneously, you'll have to trust me - or go to one of his shows. That it never sounds constructed or forced - as complex as it is, this song is based on a simple melody.įever Dream: The most interesting aspect of this song is that Vai plays it on a three neck guitar on stage. The song features many different parts, interesting breaks, horn sections, wild unisono vibraphone runs, dramatic slow downs and accellerandos. It shows that Vai really matured as a songwriter, compared to his early progressive songs on Flex-Able. Here Zappa really shines through - without the music sounding like any Zappa song I know. Lucky Charms: If I had to recommend one single track to someone who doubts Vai's progressive talent, it would be this one. Not very progressive, but outstanding nonetheless. beautiful, and quite funky and uplifting at times. The rest of the song is dominated by Vai's guitar solo. The song starts without drums, followed by a short bridge dominated by cleverly orchestrated choirs. The Silent Within: Now this is a track for all the polyrhythm maniacs out there - the vocals, drums and various instruments lead a life of their own here. The rhythm is quite odd: 7/4 grouped in 3 + 4, with the accents cleverly positioned to throw off your counting.
This one is very nice - no alarms and no surprises, if you will.
SINGER BLOOD AND TEAR STEVE VAI WINDOWS
Windows to the Soul: The 7th song on any Vai album is always a beautiful ballad. later in the song she gets angry and the song climaxes in a weird solo by Vai's octafuzzed guitar and the queen and her hive, who sound like dozens of Indian temple mistresses on a x10 timewarp trip. Vai uses morphed vocal parts for the bees' voices - watch out for the queen of the hive.
SINGER BLOOD AND TEAR STEVE VAI HOW TO
The lyrics tell a weird story of how to have intercourse with a swarm of bees - or something like that. Voodoo Acid: This is the first - and one of the few - tracks on this album with vocals. In the latter half Vai plays some familiar SRV voicings in a very funky rhythm. It's the only song on the album which is not particularly progressive, but it's still a nice fusion of Blues and Jazz-Funk. this is another homage, this time to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Jeff Beck's song "Nadja" is the only song I know which is equally majestic. In the middle of the song Vai plays an amazing laid back solo, and his use of the vibrato bar is nothing short of amazing. Vai uses very colorful voicings which remind of Eddie Van Halen just a little bit. It's a majestic tune, and it doesn't resemble any Zappa song. Vai often uses his guitar to mimic vocals, and here the solo guitar literally screams.įrank: This song is obviously dedicated to Frank Zappa, for whom Vai used to play in the early 80's. OOOO: This is the first weird tune - and the first real highlight of the album. It is based on a simple melody - but beefed up with some African rhythms, samples and weird chord progressions. The Ultra Zone: A very funky song, and many cool breaks. The song flows nicely, meandering through different soundscapes and occasional solo spots. Vai's excursion in World music and Indian folklore.
The Blood & Tears: " Let the might of your compassion arise to bring a quick end to the flowing stream of the blood and tears. The whole album is a mixture of weird Avant-Prog and cool Jazz-Metal- Fusion - except for a few songs which are not very progressive, and that is the only reason for me not giving this album 5 stars. You can hear his Zappa influences throughout the album, not just on the Joe Satriani's Engines of Creation has a similar concept, but The Ultra Zone is like ten times more adventurous and bizarre. But the reason for giving this album 4 stars on a website for progressive music is that here he goes way beyond other shred guitarists. Steve Vai is a guitarist, and of course all the songs have lengthy guitar solos. This album is not for the faint of heart - I'm sure that many people will not be able to get into it. Well, on this album he again proves that both assumptions are wrong. Two common preconceptions about Vai are that his primary asset is technical prowess and speed, and that his playing and songwriting lack emotions.
