When Joe Satriani released Not of This Earth, he stated that his goal was “to make a ‘guitar-record- that would be enjoyed by all; not just a ‘guitar-chops-record’ but one with real music on it.” Remastered by John Cuniberti, analog mixes are 30ips 1/2″ tape, transferred and mastered to digital at 96/24.

Not of This Earth was the first studio release from guitar wizard Joe Satriani (not counting the hard-to-find Joe Satriani EP). This all-instrumental album was making ripples in the guitar-playing community not long after it was released, and it’s easy to see why: superior compositions, a signature style, a unique tone, and playing that’s out of this world. Satriani shifts musical gears deftly, often layering multiple tracks together to make a complex soundscape. The fiery sound of “Not of This Earth” and “Hordes of Locusts” is tempered by the cool, dark tone of “Driving at Night,” the far-out Eastern approach of “The Snake,” and the quiet, thoughtful “Rubina.” Satriani’s fluid playing and wicked licks are enough to drop jaws and widen eyes. There isn’t a weak track on this disc, even though the guitarist was still maturing when he released it.
