│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ When it comes to execution, it's hard to find ║ │
│║ fault in a guitarist like Joe Satriani. Whether ║ │
│║ garnering Grammy nominations or earning ║ │
│║ accolades from his Chickenfoot bandmates (who, ║ │
│║ by the way, say he beats out Eddie Van Halen in ║ │
│║ terms of all-around playing ability), Satriani ║ │
│║ has solidified his stronghold as a guitar god. ║ │
│║ For his latest record Black Swans and Wormhole ║ │
│║ Wizards, the musician has indicated that he ║ │
│║ wrote songs that his audience probably might not ║ │
│║ expect and those tracks caught him off guard as ║ │
│║ well. It's not necessarily that the 11 new songs ║ │
│║ are completely out of left field stylistically, ║ │
│║ but they do indicate that Satriani has been ║ │
│║ drawing from a variety of world influences other ║ │
│║ than your typical rock format.Out of the 11 ║ │
│║ tracks, the opener Premonition could be ║ │
│║ considered your most standard Satriani fare. ║ │
│║ Driven by a mellower rock tempo, the phrasing of ║ │
│║ each section is tastefully done without excess ║ │
│║ showiness. While a solid track on the whole, ║ │
│║ Premonition becomes even a bit more engaging ║ │
│║ with the introduction of an engaging, groove- ║ │
│║ oriented lick (and more frantic soloing) enters ║ │
│║ into the equation about halfway through. Light ║ │
│║ Years Away begins with a calm, unassuming ║ │
│║ ambient synth sound, but Satriani quickly enters ║ │
│║ with a good dose of gain-fueled rock riffage. ║ │
│║ That particular song does take a few breathers ║ │
│║ in terms of the energy level, but it's nothing ║ │
│║ in comparison to Solitude. A quiet, almost ║ │
│║ chillingly subtle piano line constitutes the ║ │
│║ foundation of the instrumental one-minute track ║ │
│║ and makes for an uncharacteristic guitar-less ║ │
│║ interlude.Littleworth Lane was inspired by the ║ │
│║ passing of Satriani's mother Katherine, who ║ │
│║ resided on a street of the same name in Sea ║ │
│║ Cliff, New York. A down-tempo, pristine blues ║ │
│║ track inspired by Katherine's love of a variety ║ │
│║ of musical styles, it is beautifully played and ║ │
│║ is a tasteful tribute. In the latter few songs ║ │
│║ of the album is when Satriani truly thinks ║ │
│║ outside of the box. The Golden Room is ║ │
│║ characterized by a striking rhythm and Middle ║ │
│║ Eastern influences, but the big payoff comes ║ │
│║ through Satriani mixing in a metal sound within ║ │
│║ that same track. Wormhole Wizards builds upon a ║ │
│║ quiet intro and delivers one of the most ║ │
│║ memorable guitar lines on the entire album. ║ │
│║ There is a section within Wormhole Wizards that ║ │
│║ veers off to a classical tangent, but Satriani ║ │
│║ doesn't abuse this aspect and lets his soloing ║ │
│║ to take the spotlight for the remaining portion ║ │
│║ of the track. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Instrumental albums can be hit or miss, but with ║ │
│║ Satriani you can at the very least know that ║ │
│║ you're receiving some of the finest feats of ║ │
│║ execution within the guitar world. Black Swans ║ │
│║ And Wormhole Wizards is certainly satisfying in ║ │
│║ that regard, but Satriani never strays too far ║ │
│║ from his typical sound. The rock and/or metal ║ │
│║ moments don't necessarily taken precedence on ║ │
│║ Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards, with mellow, ║ │
│║ sleek compositions representing a good chunk. ║ │
│║ Dramatic musical choices are kept to a minimum, ║ │
│║ which may leave some listeners eager for ║ │
│║ something a bit more edgy or dangerous. Even so, ║ │
│║ Satriani continues to impress with his playing ║ │
│║ skills and that is probably what will be the ║ │
│║ biggest draw for his fans in the end. ║ │
