1.Beyond the Infinite Burning Doubleneck Playing and Odd Time Signatures is Nothingness 2. A huge roster of musicians who recorded their albums with live Studio Audience 3. A band featuring pretty much the only Banjo player I listen to 4. A really great guitarist burning the fretboard, but the tunes don't do much for me and that keyboard sound sucks.
Those are my choices, and I am sticking to it. However, I have to say--that synth solo on Lingus...Holy F**ing Moly.

Hiromi is Numero Uno, and I would say Fazjaz is second. I stumbled on both.......bought Hiromi's "Brain" blind, and have been on the Hiromi train ever since. I will say, also, she has much more visibility world-wide than the others, and has a much "wider" palette. Agree that the covers FazJAz concocts are unexpected, surprising, and just plain burnin'. Fragile at Number 3--a great and under-rated band, should be more well known outside Japan.
That Casiopea album is cool, and I also like some of their other stuff, but....it just doesn't have the fire the way the others do, and there's that little bit of Spyro Gyra peeking out. I think Prism has some good to great albums, too...but some are smoothish. Maybe it's that Tale-End of the Classic Era, the disco flavah......

My ranking would put Chasing Shadows in the top two. Agree with all the comments, Tony is really a musical and thoughtful player, IMO, love all his albums, (Check 'em out--Elevation, Moving, and Unknown Angels) but especially this one. But-
1. Fourth Dimension 2. Husband's Dirty and Beautiful Vol. 2 3. Interspirit 4. Anomaly
Also want to give a Shout Out to Gary's two solo acoustic piano albums, A Meeting of Spirits, and The Things I See...you can guess whose material is being interpreted on each of those. They are truly amazing, bowled me over the first time I heard them, knowing him only as drummer with Allan.

1. Jeff Beck 2. Allan Holdsworth 3. Brand X 4. Protocol
