In other news, Joe Satriani’s landmark album Surfing With The Alien recently received the reissue treatment. The reissue was part of Record Store Day in November, and featured a second disc that itself featured the iconic album without any of its guitar solos (I.E. edited takes of each song).
Also recently released to streaming is the collection Additional Creations and Bonus Tracks. The 16-song compilation features alternate takes of four songs from his album Engines of Creation as well as 12 other rarities.
