So what lies in store for the curious listener? The disc is primarily instrumental cuts, the exceptions being the mandatory chants on "Jingo" and "Oye Como Va". The backing band, consisting of Peter Wolf, Dave Weckl, Abraham Laboriel, Jeff Richman, and Luis Conte (okay, so drummer Dave Weckl is the only name I think I recognize) handle the Latin rhythm section admirably. Each track is performed by a different guitarist, most of whom are well-known in shred or fusion circles but not nearly so well exposed otherwise. Guitarists like Vinnie Moore, Jeff Richman (yes, the rhythm guitarist takes a lead as well), and Robben Ford handle their tracks with a combination of smooth playing and flash. Unfortunately, Eric Gales, a relatively recent addition to the Blues Bureau family, doesn't seem quite as in his element on "Jingo" as the other musicians. This is especially a shame because Eric Gales is otherwise a phenomenal artist, and showing up on a compilation like this could do a lot to expose him.
