Drawing on influences like Eddie Van Halen and one of my favorites,
the late, great Randy Rhodes, and every other big name guitar player
out there, Milan Polak demonstrates that he is one of the all time
greats. He has lived and traveled throughout the world and weaves
a mesh of his multicultural experience into the very fabric of the
music he has created. Jeff Beck, Robin Trower, Vai, and Satriani
have nothing on him. From classical to Spanish guitar, Milan knows
all and shows all.
This
is a beautifully well done instrumental album. The only thing that
bothers me is why these guys like Polak, Beck, and Trower never
hook up with a band and a vocalist of the same caliber and write
some music that the masses could enjoy. This disc is great, and
any guitarist out there can't deny it. But look at what Randy Rhodes,
Eddie Van Halen, and even that left-handed genius Jimi Hendrix did
with vocals implemented. Sure, they could have made careers just
doing instrumentals but how much music would now have never existed
had they chosen to follow that path? I'll never fully understand
this concept. Until it is intelligently explained to me, it will
remain a mystery. This is great for what it is, but how much of
it can you take? I wonder what great songs may never be, and it
blows my mind.
