    I'm loving this album. It's incredible how it's guitar music that somehow transcends guitar. It feels like the guitar is not the prominent instrument, it's just a part of a bigger machinery and just happens to be a voice for the melody, instead of being the focus of the album.

      WOW. That _IS_ it, isn't it? Great description!
      I'd also suggest it's music that is both virtually orchestral and cinematographic in its overall scope and presentation. Honestly, I enjoy the compositions and arrangements as much as the playing. Inspirational! (I find his newest album, 'Wide Eyes In The Dark', to be a further extension of all this. IMO.)
      I'm also _somewhat_ reminded of Shawn Lane's 'Power of Ten' in those regards, but I think Nick's music is more immediately melodic and, um... remarkably human.

    "And the tone- Oh my God I can't wait to show people"- that's what I think every time I listen to this album- the tone is just soooo good. It's weird- I can't believe this was 2 years ago now- it all still sounds so fresh and new to me.

  • @AIYINOFFICIAL
    @AIYINOFFICIAL 3 года назад +1

    10:38 OH MY GOD THE TONE indeed .. literally one of the best tones I've heard so far !!

    Nick, I'd be hard pressed to pick your best album. They're all different, but they're all amazing as well. Edit* I really thought the Piano did bring some drama into the music and it was well received on my end.

    @napoleonsreef5240 7 лет назад +3

    Awesome album. I love the arc from beginning to end; the wrenching moments of rich darkness that burst into life as melody, harmony and drums converge; the sheets of fluid scintillation that bend and fold into crystalline form and then shapeshift into reams of light. Just spectacular! Can't wait for what's next!

    "I don't know how people are going to take this"... I heard this album, and you, for the first time when this came out 3 years ago. It's still among my top 5 albums of all time. Such tasteful shredding and it really does take you on a journey from beginning to end. A beautiful, frightening, and wondrous journey! I look forward to more music from you Nick!

    i wouldn't insult him by calling him a shredder, he is next level... more of a, master musician and composer or something (who can shred) then, there are, the chord changes, usually, only found in film music, the tones, the other worldly blues licks.. it just keeps giving!

    I've listened to this album maybe 20 times already since its release. I will definitely be following your future works, Nick! I love how otherworldly this album feels, and the piano definitely lends an ethereal vibe to the overall project. Great call on that one.
    I was so pumped when I saw this video was now available, right when I'm working on my own debut album in my own home studio. It's definitely the inspiration I need for those days when everything seems to be nothing more than garbage. Keep this great content (vids and music) coming for us, will ya? Can't wait to see some music vids of my two favorite songs from this record: Impossible Things and Poison Touch!

    @thorndog100 4 года назад +1

    I love the "Makings of.." Its really great to see the artists involvement in the process of their art from beginning to end. I have a special affiliation with this album because when I listen to the music it reminds me of my Main Coon cat called Gandalf that passed away a couple of years ago. It makes me sad but also reminds me of the crazy things he did. Also I have a signed copy of this album and of course the music is all so spot on. It could be the soundtrack to someone's life. Maybe it is, but it is special to me and I own a lot of guitar orientated albums.

    I'm an amateur guitarist even though I'm not much younger than you.
    I love your music. It's stuck in my head for a couple of months now especially this album.
    Please make an album with the improvisations that are not on the album - they are equally entertaining, imo it's not garbage as you regard it in this video.. Jason Becker did it and the listeners will always appreciate it.
    Thank you and keep on delivering

    Gavin Harrison is awesome! I wish Nick would have worked with him on his new stuff too. the last two albums he made has a different drummer, and it's honestly not as good in my opinion. but still great music, but would be even better if Gavin was still playing drums for Nick.
    Excellent video though, this album is legendary and a masterpiece of composition and musicianship!
