turke said:This solo keyboard album is much better than the ones made by Derek Sherinian or Jordan Rudess. I don't like their stuff, it comes to me like all wacko effects and strange sounds mayhem. But Pinnella is just playing it. That is all. And it is very melodic. Classical influenced. I don't care how virtuoso is Jordan Rudess or how crazy is Derek, i love what Mike Pinnella did, and that's enough for me.
I think Sherenian is a little over-valued, as well as Pinnella is under-valued. I also didn't like his playing style in his solo stuff.
Yet, i like Jordan Rudess a lot
