JS>How is it?  I was thinking about picking it up, but how many Joe
Satriani
albums does one person need?  My guess is "Surfing with the Alien", and
then maybe one more.

TA>well, I've only been able to give it a few spins, but so far I like
it
quite a bit....much better than his last, IMHO.....and personally, I
think Surfing is one of his weaker albums......Flying in a Blue Dream
is much better,

I have Flying and find it OK.  Always wanted to get Alien but it
continues to slip on my to do list.  I'll admit my own minor fascination
with Sat/Alien is his awarness and apparent like for the Silver Surfer.
Comic Book Fans HO! Isn't that the Buscema version of the Silver Surfer
on the album cover?

>The remastered songs from the first few Dio albums (the real reason I bought
the CD) sound absolutely wonderful.

Thanks for the reference Steve saw this and wondered out loud.  I used
to own all the Dio stuff on vinyl but only the Live on cd.  The cd is
blown now so this comp sounds like a good buy for the Dio era stuff.
