Plank’s ARC Pick: Powers of Ten by Shawn Lane

Very poignant. For Shawn anyway.

Sounds like if Al Di Meola had played for the Dixie Dregs. I love when he’s shredding on the guitar but I felt less enthusiastic about his keyboarding and the melodic structuring. Still this is a damn good instrumental fusion record and goddamn if he can’t play. I don’t remember this crossing my way before and I look forward to future ARC suggestions Plank. It’s nice to leave my box.

Happy to help, Hawk.

Gives me a little insight into what tickles yer fancy. I'll dig up a few more gems, hopefully.

In that style I consider the Mahavishnu Orchestra to be the gold standard.

I was hoping for more of a response from you, but I see you want to talk in sentence fragments.

Word!

I didn't hate the album. And despite who presented it to me I was going to go back and give it a re-listen.

I bought Love Devotion and Surrender when I was in Amsterdam in the 80's. I hated it, and probably not because of Carlos.
