Tony MacAlpine
Madness
The Story
"Madness" unleashes eleven new tunes that feature aggressive rock and fusion compositions highlighting guitarist Tony MacAlpine's incredible technique and melodic flair. The eleven tracks on the CD feature more fusion/metal work than the neo-classical approach found on MacAlpine's 1980s releases. A total break from tradition is "Albert's Fat Sister", a jazz piece feauring a cameo by Branford Marsalis. The balance of the disc however is furious leads and MacAlpine's strong melodicism. "Madness" is a musical testimony!
