Before there was Liquid Tension Experiment, the was Black Light Syndrome. However, the material compositions manifested by Tony Levin, Steve Stevens & Terry Bozzio were mostly off-the-cuff recordings. I am more intrigued by improvisations as opposed to planned recordings for the spontaneity & showcases of the thinking musician; someone who can adapt to the playing style of others without a prior need to study their methods. To me, this is how we spot gifted people. The instrumentals in BLS are lengthy & very artistic, so if you are after some technical highlight exclusively, be informed that this aspect of playing is only a peppered inclusion here. This is also your opportunity to hear the players' deviation from their traditional, professional commitments, for instance, Steve Steven's flamenco guitar works in addition to his more established signature ray-gun guitar effects.
This is actually a re-purchase for me, the original CD I own is now beyond saving; it will skip in the middle of play, giving off a rude, high-pitch click. *SIGH*
