The Story
_________
"Introspection", the Shrapnel shredder's second record, followed the pattern of his first release hyperspeed instrumental jazz-tinged hard rock .This release set standards for the 90's as an instrumental offering comprised of aggressive rock and fusion compositions which showcase Howe's incredible technique, musicianship, virtuosity and flair. Check out the intensity on songs such as "Button Up", "Come And Get It" and "Jump Start" there were plenty of wanna-be Greg Howes copping licks off "Introspection" in the early '90s. The track "Desiderata" was dedicated to Jason Becker.
