No comments yet? I'll start. I gave it a 10. I think this is an excellenet surround disc. Very good recording quality. Wonderful surround mix.
This was my first Satriani album (if I don't count G3) and I was pleased with the instrumental guitar music. (Thankfully, no singing.) Some of it rocks a little harder, but some of it is a little bit mellower, too.
The closest guitar-virtuoso type of surround disc that I previously had in my collection was the DVD-A of Eric Johnson's "Ah Via Musicom". And whilst I, musically speaking, still consider myself more of an Eric Johnson fan than a Joe Satriani fan, the comparison between the two hi-rez surround albums isn't even close. "Ah Via Musicom" somewhat disappointed me with its harsh sound, incorrect riffs, and a merely OK surround mix. Joe Satriani's "Strange Beautiful Music" on the other hand seems almost perfect to me.
