3.0 out of 5 stars Great in places...too heavily processed in others. 3 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This CD is a mixed bag really. Some tracks like "The Canarsie Daiquiri" and "Ass Man" have some great moments in them, but others are far too sparse with little of what's known as melody.

Cucurullo's influences are blatant in this CD, with Zappa and Vai being two of the most likely culprits, the former obviously lending his name to the title of this album.

Other tracks on this CD are really really over processed and his use of effects just gets way too much. You end up longing to hear a normal guitar sound on it. It was exactly the same when I saw him live, and then you could hear a huge hiss between songs, where the guitar sound was so processed.

The real stunner on this album is the title track, but he has done a real dis-service to it by including the recording he has. It is a live version of the first time he ever played the track live, recorded straight onto mini-disc. The feeling is all there (for once on this album), but you can hear the signal clip as the mini-disc input was too high. A minor complaint maybe, but it ruins an otherwise great song.

Overall, a good debut album...

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing piece of work! 30 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I've never played a guitar in my life, so I would seem a rather unlikely type to be heaping such piles of praise on an album that boasts virtuoso guitar playing on every track.

Warren Cuccurullo is one of my absolute favorite guitarists (it doesn't hurt that he's in Duran Duran... three cheers for the 80s British Invasion). He is often mentioned in the same breath as virtuosos like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, but his songwriting and soloing seem to serve a far more melodic, dramatic, and even thematic purpose than anything I've ever heard from standard-issue kings of the axe. His playing seems perfectly fluid, sloppy, planned, and improvised all at once!

His solo work on the final track, "Thanks to Frank" is a perfect companion piece to Zappa's "Watermelon in Easter Hay." If you want to kick out the jams in a big way, while marveling at the mind-blowing ability of an incredible talent... this is one place to begin...

Check out Mike Keneally while you're at it... Frank sure new how to pick 'em!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning! 7 Jun 2005
By K. W. Wardle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Warren Cuccurullo rocks on this CD. It is stunning. The music is VERY tight and makes a great companion to the excellent 'Machine Language' CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the lack of vocals fool you! 3 Dec 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I am not a fan of guitar normally, I find excessive solos bore me, excessive showing off grates on me. I like to have something vocal, some lyrics to hook onto.

This masterpiece is in a category of its own!

No vocals, but the guitar sings to you in a way only the sweetest front man could master. Buy it. Buy it NOW.
