This is E.Vil's (Elias Viljanen aka "The Finnish Flash") second release and after two tracks I knew I absolutely had to track down his first Taking The Lead. Elias takes leads galore on this beauty playing with grace and a great sense of melody. The song "Touching The Sky" is worth the price of admission alone with its insistent groove and intelligent counterpoint solo bursts. There are hints of Satch and Moore throughout this recording, but at the end of the day E.Vil makes a staggering personal statement with his speed, finesse and chops. Highly recommended
