Our Take

Prepare to blast off on a cosmic journey with Joe Satriani's latest album, "The Elephants Of Mars." Known for his virtuosic guitar skills, Satriani delivers a mind-bending mix of extraterrestrial rock that is sure to leave you mesmerised and craving for more.

From the opening track, "Red Planet Rumble," Satriani’s guitar work soars and swirls like a spaceship navigating through the vast expanse of space. With each riff and solo, he effortlessly conjures up images of alien landscapes and interstellar travels, transporting you to a world beyond your wildest dreams.

Tracks like "Martian Meltdown" and "Galactic Groove" showcase Satriani's ability to blend technical prowess with infectious melodies, creating a sonic tapestry that is both otherworldly and undeniably catchy. The funky bass lines and the pounding drums add a layer of depth to the music, giving each track a pulsating energy that is impossible to resist.

But it's not all about the instrumental pyrotechnics – Satriani also knows how to craft a compelling narrative with his music. The haunting "Echoes of Olympus Mons" and the epic closer "The Last Martian Sunset" take you on a sonic odyssey that will leave you breathless and in awe of Satriani's musical genius.

"The Elephants Of Mars" is a triumph of imagination and technical skill, a testament to Satriani's enduring creative vision. So strap in, buckle up, and get ready for the ride of a lifetime – because with Joe Satriani at the helm, the possibilities are truly infinite.
