Time Odyssey was Vinnie Moore's second solo album and another all instrumental affair. Released in 1988 this album was eagerly anticipated as his debut album Mind's Eye had been critically acclaimed amongst the guitar fraternity. Jordan Rudess came in on keyboards and had a lot to live up to as none other than Tony MacAlpine has tinkled the ivories on Mind's Eye.

I bought this album as soon as it came out and have listened to it ever since. Seriously influenced by J.S Bach there are some great tunes on here as well as emotive slower pieces. A masterpiece!! 10/10

Agreed. Amazing album. So melodic for a shred album. Right up there with Maximum Security. 10/10 My favorite tunes include Message in a Dream, As Time Slips By, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and April Sky. But they are all great songs.

I think this album is more mature than Mind's Eye; not because he adds some melodic songs or slow tempo ones (and songs when surprisingly he refuses to play fast), but because his approaching is like more introspective: phrasing is more suggesting and precise, and the album itself has a more variated structure. Beautiful guitar solos, awesome shred and that 80's ambience and tune which I came to like a lot. In some passages the album made me think about old arcade games :) which I love (not just music of space games, but of those late 80's D&D shaped ones).

Its a 9 for me (higher than two years ago), maybe a 9.5.

Agreed but later on MacAlpine got too mature sounding imo. I like a little bit of rawness and exciting playing. I thought he had more of that in the 80's.
