According to him, it could quickly become 'boring' if it got blasé about what it was putting out, each track sounding similar.

And he was absolutely spot on. Many attempt this, and only a select few achieve the end goal: a fully likeable record that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Many manage to hold you for maybe six or seven tracks before you start to drift and lose interest. But Joe Satriani and his magic guitar solos are the real deal.

This amalgamation of Hitman video game character crossed with Moby has released his 16th studio record and the guitars he is world famous for sing from start to finish.
