Joe Stump - Rapid Fire Rondo (1998/Leviathan)
Rating - 7.9

Stump's fourth instrumental release. This has the same overall setup as the others, but is a bit heavier in its production and delivery. He continues to be a very fluid guitarist, yet very "workman-like" as well.
"Thrill of the Chase" has a heavy backbone, "Speedball Sonatina" and the title track are both good, and "The Dominance Factor" cruises and bumps, and simply screams for biting vocals!

TRACK LIST: Rapid Fire Rondo/Echo Andante/Thrill of the Chase/End of an Era/Speedball Sonatina/Shredding in Shuffle City/ Unrelenting/The Dominance Factor/Eurotrashed/Pharaoh's Delight
