Zero Order Phase is a seriously killer instrumental album. Loomis is insane! I still haven't given his latest release much of a play yet. Something to listen to tonight me thinks.
You're right about these solo records and guys abilities going un-noticed except for fans of a band the artist plays for.
Its like Chris Broderick. People think he's simply Megadeths 2nd guitarist but Broderick is an absolute freak. Shreds and is a classical virtuoso. In fact he played with Loomis as part of Nevermore's live shows for a period of time as well.
(I'd post a link, but I'm on the work computer and they've banned YouTube).
