Band : Massimo Izzizzari
Album title : Electrifying
Label : Lion Music
Distributor : Bertus
Release Date : 19/06/2011
Release : CD

Another fully instrumental album.  This is the second release for Massimo Izzizzari, an Italian guitarist;  The album contains 9 tracks.

And, for an instrumental album, I must say that I rather liked it.  The main reason for this is probably that Mr. Massimo does not stick to rock music alone, but that he mixes in other styles, which makes it more of a fusion album.
I find his style of playing is closest in resemblance to Joe Satriani, but others might have another judgment or idea about this.
The fusion elements probably were the reason why I managed to listen to 4 songs in a row, before boredom showed it’s ugly head.  I’m afraid I’ll never be able to digest a complete instrumental album. But he does get a good rating from me for the diversity of the songs, more specifically the fact that they’re not completely oriented towards a rock community, but are open to others as well.

80/100
