1999`s Maze not only represents Vinnie Moore`s return to his neo-classical shred roots, it also marks the guitarist`s Shrapnel Records homecoming. It had been over a decade since Moore released his surprisingly successful debut for the label that essentially defined the rock guitar virtuoso genre. After spending years trying to shed the neo-classical tag and developing a Satriani-esque phrasing ability/tonal vocabulary, Moore brought some new tricks to his old bag, and Maze benefits because of it. The compositions are more mature than those on Mind`s Eye and Time Odyssey and Moore`s instrumental voice is light years in advance of what it was during his previous neo-classical forays. Mind`s Eye may have heavily outsold Maze, but that was a result the timeliness of Moore`s first Shrapnel offering. If forced to pick between these two releases, fans of the genre -- who should probably have both discs in their collection -- will be wise to pick up Maze. ~ Vincent Jeffries
