The name Steve Cichon didn't ring a bell, so I started by searching some info on the internet.  Seems he's been involved in Vicious Circle, and this is already his third solo-album.
When you first put this CD on, you'll think you're listening to a live album, but that's not the case, it's only some trick.
What you get here is a pure instrumental CD. 

Sadly  I'm not that into instrumental CD's, but I'm always open to new sensations, so I decided to sit this out till the bitter end.  The first remark to be made is that this is in no way a metal or hard rock album.  Steve has managed to draw in a lot of musical styles, thus creating something very special.
If you combine this with a multitude of guitar styles, you do get an interesting album, something totally unique.
As a guitarist I would say he reminds me a bit of Joe Satriani.
For an all instrumental album not a bad effort at all.  Even if half way through the album I started to get a bit bored, and most of all the cheering crowd on the album is superfluous.
