Yeah, Shawn was probably the greatest musician of all time in my eyes. He was also a total genius intellectually. For instance, he could recite entire books from memory. That sort of thing. Lots of great stories about his intellect.
Grey Pianos Flying is one of the best songs from the studio Powers of Ten and Powers of Ten; Live! albums. Here's a couple Lane/Hellborg-era solos and an unreleased solo demo of Shawn's called Sins: http://www.speedyshare.com/822738775.html Also check out:
Abstractlogix.com carries most of his stuff. His first solo studio album was Powers of Ten, which finally saw a re-release recently, but was then taken down because there’s some major issues between the label and Shawn's family. Powers of Ten Live is an essential album as well, and is quite a bit different from the studio version because of the full live band setting. For instance, Epilogue (For Lisa) was an acoustic number on the studio album, but really came into its own on PoT Live with Shawn playing it on eclectic and using the vibrato bar to give the song more flavor. Then there’s Shawn’s second studio album, The Tri-Tone Fascination. It’s good, but not nearly as classic as Powers of Ten. Shawn had already moved towards East meets West, fusion / Indian type music with Jonas Hellborg. His music moved in a whole different direction from the rock/fusion/jazz solo material. With Jonas he released an album called Abstract Logic, which was recently re-mastered and re-issued nicely. They also did a live DVD in Paris, and a whole lot more albums including: Personae, Temporal Analogues of Paradise, Good People in Times of Evil, Icon, Time is the Enemy, Zen House, and they appeared on half of an album called Two Doors. The best / most famous among Lane fans of those is probably Good People in Times of Evil and Icon. This post has been edited by InstruMental Case: Mar 24 2007, 09:49 PM |
