Unknown Contributor Role: Joe Lynn Turner. Arranger: Yngwie Malmsteen. Odyssey is a more subdued, polished collection seemingly designed for mainstream radio airplay. Vocalist Joe Lynn Turner gives the set a smooth, professional feel, and Yngwie Malmsteen's playing is more mellow, due partly to the fact that he was still recovering from his near-fatal car accident when the album was recorded. However, all of this works to the detriment of the music: the mellowness of Malmsteen's guitar work makes him sound constrained and passionless, and the album shows little difference in approach from his previous output, lending credence to critics' charges that Malmsteen plays with mindless technique at the expense of substance, fire, and emotion. ~ Steve Huey Producer: Jeff Glixman; Yngwie Malmsteen Engineer: Jeff Glixman; John Rollo Musical Guests Joe Lynn Turner   Compilation Appearances Bat Head Soup This Is Metal Young Person's Guide To The Classic 2 This Is Metal's Most Covered Moments Of 80S This Is Rock Anthems This Is Guitar Gods Guitar Masters V2 Guitar Masters V2 Carmine Appice's Guitar Zeus   Associated Artists and Works Satriani, Joe Satriani, Joe Various Artists Young Person's Guide to the Classics, Vol. 2 ~ Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 03/07/2005 Original Release Date : 1988 Catalog ID : 835451-2 Label : Polydor (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 50m : 37s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00042283545120    Product Image
