I got a tape and some scores - sorry for not responding.
But I'll correct that now!

Despite being one of those minimalist and JI sensitive types,
my roots are in rock - specifically manic flashy guitar playing.
I really enjoyed the music. Stylistically, the tape
sounds like Steve Vai meets D.J. Spooky.
Dan Sterns obviously knows what he's doing.

I'll be sure to include a review next time I do
reviews for Juxtaposition Ezine. I just did a batch
over the weekend, I plan on cleaning up the
*to-be-reviewed* pile soon. This includes material
from Pat Pagano and Kraig Grady.

BTW: Thanks to Joe Monzo for plugging the site.
