 Satriani
Satriani's gift is creating highly evolved instrumental music, using the structure of popular standard songs, that allows listeners to latch onto tuneful melodies before being dazzled by his acclaimed musicianship.
Satriani unleashes his heralded sounds and techniques throughout the album, reaching apocalyptic extremes on the title track and "Time." Typically, his soloing never disappoints, and on such new pieces as "Trundumbalind" and 'With Jupiter in Mind," he hits new heights of stun-guitar artistry.
Joe Satriani was born in Westbury, New York and began playing guitar at age 14.

 Not of This Earth - Joe Satriani - Music Reviews
Not of This Earth was the first studio release from guitar wizard Joe Satriani (not counting the hard-to-find Joe Satriani EP).
This all-instrumental album was making ripples in the guitar-playing community not long after it was released, and it's easy to see why: superior compositions, a signature style, a unique tone, and playing that's out of this world.
The fiery sound of "Not of This Earth" and "Hordes of Locusts" is tempered by the cool, dark tone of "Driving at Night," the far-out Eastern approach of "The Snake," and the quiet, thoughtful "Rubina." Satriani's fluid playing and wicked licks are enough to drop jaws and widen eyes.

Satriani had released his debut, Not of This Earth one year earlier in 1986, and while it got his name out to some extent, it was not his breakthrough album that would make him the world renowned guitarist that he is today.
Basically, a "starving musician," Satriani threw in what he could afford for this album and on its release date in 1987, it took the guitar playing world by storm.
This album is so diverse that no matter what kind of guitarist you are, you can always get something from this album or any Satch album for that matter.

Of course, we are talking about Joe Satriani here and with previous album titles such as “Crystal Planet”, “Not Of This Earth”, and “Surfing With The Alien”; one can safely assume that there is quite a bit of “extraterrestrial exploration” within his brand of rock.
While the album is consistently strong throughout, Satriani positively shines on the mid tempo tracks, the ballads and, of course, those space-jams.
I think I can safely say that this will be one of the top guitar albums of the year – so if this style of guitar rock is your thing you cannot miss this album.

("It's a little synchronicity combined with serendipity," Satriani says of the circumstances that spawned the recording.) Apparently, while waiting for a guitar tech to return to the studio with a piece of gear, the band could hear his motorcycle's rumble signaling the arrival.
While even before his 1986 debut Not of This Earth, Satriani had become something of a cult legend as the guitar teacher to such future stars as Steve Vai, Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Counting Crows' David Bryson and jazz artist Charlie Hunter.
Satriani has also become a hometown hero in the Bay Area where he resides, which has led to his being recruited to render the national anthem before San Francisco 49ers and Giants games, as well as for across-the-bridge neighbors the Oakland A's.

 Joe Satriani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe "Satch" Satriani (born on July 15, 1956, in Westbury, New York, USA) is an American guitarist and guitar teacher.
In 1998 Satriani recorded and released Crystal Planet and in 2001 released a Live CD recorded at San Francisco in December 2000 which was also released as a music DVD.
Satriani falls into the category of guitar virtuosos who primarily achieve speed through hammer-ons and pull-offs (like Randy Rhoads or Allan Holdsworth), as opposed to guitarists who include lines with very rapid alternate picking of every note in their playing (like Al Di Meola, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai or Michael Angelo Batio).

Each album finds him exploring different venues, and certainly it would have been tempting to have recorded ten versions of "Surfing With the Alien", but after the vocal experiments on "Flying in a Blue Dream", Satriani began to bring other sounds and ideas into his music on "The Extremist".
The first and most notable thing is that Satriani is experimenting with mood pretty heavily-- opener "Friends" is positively ecstatic, happy and excited, the kind of thing Satch made less of an effort to capture in the past.
Joe Satriani has again reminded me why he is one of the most talented guitar players out there.
