BLACK LIGHT SYNDROME

There's no doubting the pedigree of the three players involved here but what was perhaps a little surprising at the time was the inclusion of Billy Idol guitarist, Steve Stevens. He proves to be a worthy collaborator for Bozzio and Levin though, proving he's capable of far more than the Pop Metal of his previous employer.

Basically what we get here is a series of instrumental Jams in the Jazz Rock/ Fusion vein with a bit of acoustic Flamenco guitar playing thrown in for good measure. Although the jams were based on a few initial ideas, they were fleshed out in the studio on the spot over a four day period with further guitar overdubs added by Stevens at a later date. Naturally from musicians of such calibre the playing is superb and full marks to them for making the material sound like it had been worked on over a longer period of time.
