Shawn Lane--Powers of Ten

Shawn Lane's solo debut, Powers of Ten, showcases a phenomenally talented guitarist and musician who, unfortunately, doesn't seem to understand his own limitations. Emerging from digital silence with Steve Vai-like drama, "Not Again," the opening song on the record, is typical of the fusiony guitar-driven instrumentals that make up the bulk of Powers of Ten. These tracks, when not veering dangerously close to soap opera land, are pleasant enough, with just enough slippery lines to keep the listener interested. As Lane himself provides all the keyboards, basses, and drums, Powers of Ten is an impressive solo statement. There are shades of Vai and Eric Johnson in his guitar playing, to be sure, but overall he definitely has his own sound and his own vision.
