Sounds Like: PRESS REVIEWS:Dave Sharman, is for my money the best guitar player I have heard since Vinnie Moore and Sharman's debut, 1990 is infinitely more pleasant on the ear than Vai's Passion and Warfare.
- PAUL MILLER, KERRANG MAGAZINE"He's probably the finest guitarist to emerge from the European continent in decades and could well single handedly redress the international balance between Europe and the US."
- PETE PROWN, GUITAR FOR THE PRACTICING MUSICIAN (excerpts from an interview)Dave Sharmans 1990 is one of the most audacious and appealing rock guitar instrumental albums heard in a long time. Sharmans a true monster, and one of the best of the new breed.
- BUZZ MORISON, GUITAR FOR THE PRACTICING MUSICIANHe has done well to avoid the pitfalls that so often befall the guitar-based artist, and with a concerted effort may yet rewrite the rulebook.
