Alex Masi
📀 Attack Of The Neon Shark
#InstrumentalRock #HeavyMetal #ProgressiveMetal #FunkMetal #JazzFusion
35 years ago Alex Masi from #Venice, #Italy released his debut solo album.
Attack Of The Neon Shark was recorded in Los Angeles, #USA, where Alex moved in 1986. In this album some of his friends appear as guest musicians, most notably drummer #FrankieBanali, guitarist #AllanHoldsworth (who plays his synth-axe), one of Masi's main inspirations, and #DavidMichaelPhilips (additional guitar/bass).
The album starts with a typical #HairMetal song (#JeffScottSoto on vocals and #Kuni guitar solo), reminiscent of the past 👉 MASI albums.
The remaining tracks are instrumental and show all #AlexMasi guitar skills (he also plays bass and keyboards) which led to a Grammy nomination for best 1989 intrumental rock: Alex Masi became a guitar hero!
"Toccata" is a guitar rendition of the 👉 ELP composition.
Killer album!

Soft Machine
📀 Softs
#JazzRock #ProgressiveRock #InstrumentalRock #JazzFusion
50 years ago Soft Machine from #Canterbury, England, #UK released their 9th studio album.
Like 👉 their previous album, Softs features a wider use of guitars as compared to the band's past discography.
During the recording of the album, #SoftMachine last remaining original member, Mike Ratledge, left the band.
This is probably why many see this album as a complete loss of the band's identity.
In any case this is amazing music from beginning to end ❤️🔥

#RoyBabbington – bass
#JohnEtheridge – acoustic and electric guitars
#JohnMarshall – drums, percussion
#AlanWakeman – saxophones
#KarlJenkins – piano, electric piano, Hohner Pianet, Minimoog, string synthesizers, orchestrations
