Torrent description

STEVE VAI THE ULTRA ZONE
Original Release Date: September 7, 1999
Format: Flac

Vai has been influenced by classical Indian music for this album. He uses samples from Hindu texts and weaves his guitar around them in a way that only he can! This album can be taken as a distillation of Vai's style. There are tracks which cover all his myriad of style and quirks. But he always suffuses it with humour and jaw dropping virtuosity. There is a beautiful tribute to Frank Zappa called simply "Frank", a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan "Jibbom" and there are songs interspersed amongst the instrumentals. Other high-lights include a classic Vai tune "Fever Dream" which Vai wrote especially for his triple necked heart-shaped guitar! He said he wanted to look like wizard wielding a wand when he was performing it! But there is another classic here- "In Your Eyes" is going to be as great as "For the Love of God" is and has already won him a Grammy nomination.

Vai is widely recognized as a highly technically advanced rock guitarist and has been described as a virtuoso in the world of guitar music. He has mastered many techniques on the instrument including alternate picking, legato, pinch harmonics and volume swells, and is noted for his whammy bar effects and sporadic outbursts on the instrument often contrasting sweep-picking or finger tapping with slower sections to his compositions. Vai's playing style has been characterized as quirky and angular, owing to his technical ability with the instrument and deep knowledge of music theory. He often uses exotic guitars; he plays both double and triple neck guitars, and is regarded as the first to use the 7-string guitar in a rock context. Along with Ibanez, he designed a signature 7-string guitar, the Ibanez Universe.

Steven "Steve" Siro Vai (born June 6, 1960 in Carle Place, New York) is an Italian American instrumental rock guitarist, songwriter, vocalist, producer, beekeeper, and actor. After starting his professional career as a music transcriptionist for Frank Zappa, Vai would also record and tour in Zappa's backing band starting in 1980. The guitarist began a solo career starting in 1984 and has released 13 solo albums as of 2008. Apart from his work with Frank Zappa, Vai has also recorded and toured with numerous musical artists including Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth and Whitesnake. Vai has been a regular touring member of the G3 Concert Tour which began in 1996. In 1999 Vai started his own record label Favored Nations with the intent to showcase, as Vai describes: "...artists that have attained the highest performance level on their chosen instruments."
