So here we have another Intervals release from my collection. This is release #3, and by now the band is an Aaron Marshall solo vehicle. This version is another awesome pressing from those good people over at Sheet Happens.
I’m a huge guitar instrumental fan and seeing that genre explode since Satriani and Vai first appeared on the scene has been amazing. It’s not only the guitar music that has progressed, but the drummers have grown just has much, creating way more possibilities with the grooves they create. Nathan Bulla, the drummer on this release, is just freaking awesome giving Aaron that path to let the notes and melody fly.
This is classed as Prog metal but the fusion tag hangs high over a lot of the music. By Far And Away is a perfect example, as the technicality mixed with the melody and groove is just superb.
A very enjoyable record as are all Intervals’ releases.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
