Tony MacAlpine is one the great
success stories of the guitar virtuoso movement. He made his way to the top the hard way, by
releasing album after album of solid great music, even when largely going
unnoticed, except for a few small elite listeners. His story has been a story of determination. This is one of those albums that helped MacAlpine
prove himself, and if you listen to his music, you’ll know that at every stage
of his game, he has been better than his white skinned “virtuoso” peers that
have raked in the big bucks.
I picked up on Tony MacAlpine
around the year 2000 when he joined up with Planet X. By then, Tony MacAlpine had already released
several great albums, the best of which is probably Maximum Security. I got to know Planet X, because I was a fan
of their previous keyboardist, Derek Sherinian, whom I should also say has put
out many outstanding solo albums.
