Guitar God, Maestro, Master.....No words can describe Ulrich's guitar playing, or better yet, guitar singing !!! Forget about his actual vocal singing style, LISTEN to the guitar singing. Go back to early Scorpions with Ulrich on Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance, Virgin Killer and Taken By Force, then listen to the version of Fly To The Rainbow on Tokyo Tapes alone....enough said.

"All In Your Mind" makes this debut album worth the price of admission alone....just listen to the riffing on this track, 17 years old and ready to rock into the future.

The ultimate late night excursion down the hallucinogenic worm hole.

Simply one of the best neo-psych albums ever to be released. If you like Magical Mystery Tour era Beatles meets Piper At The Gates Of Dawn era Pink Floyd, all with amazing modern production, this is for you. Up there with Dukes Of Stratosphear, Dog Age, The Fraternal Order Of The All, The Last James, Cotton Mather, All Night Radio and The Wondermints.

Once again, you can be the pessimist concerning Uli Roth's vocals OR be the optimist concerning his guitar playing. When I listen to his music the GUITAR playing IS the SINGING...
simple as that. If you allow his vocals to distract you from his ungodly guitar playing, I'm sorry for you and what you are missing.

"Morning World Blues" says it all, James Byrd has taken the neoclassical sounds of Richie Blackmore's Rainbow and Uli Roth's Electric Sun to the next level here, if not with production alone and that guitar tone....throw in some Robin Trower "Bridge Of Sighs".....wow.

Thank god no one knows about this masterpiece, I can keep it my own little secret. A concept album of all concept albums. Imagine a dose of Mike Patton's Mr. Bungle, a pinch of Roger Waters The Wall and a dramatic Queen production, along with some dark A Clockwork Orange visions, buckle your seat belt and let the music take you away .....naturally (or unnaturally if you choose).
