Allen “Robot” Van Wert can play guitar, and on his debut he plays it with abandon. His chops are worthy, and the multiple tones and lead variations he plays are reminiscent of axemen like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson.

The 18 tracks here represent a broad range of styles and moods. There are techno and electronica elements on more than a few of the songs, giving the album a sci-fi, futuristic sense about it. This album is highly recommended for devotees of progressive rock guitar. One never knows; this guy might be a third of G3 someday.

Favorite Track: Track 13, “Shouting into Waves”
