Ahead of the release of guitar heroes SatchVai‘s album The Sea Of Emotion on 6th November, their record company, earMUSIC, has produced a limited-edition run of 30 test pressings with signed and hand-painted sleeves, one side painted by Joe Satriani, the other painted by Steve Vai.
The test pressings are available through separate stores for the UK and Europe, and for those in the guitarists’ American homeland, the US.
Strictly limited, the 2LP test pressing of The Sea Of Emotion is a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece created by Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Each individual sleeve has been hand-painted by both artists, one taking each side, making every copy a completely unique work of art. Each test pressing is also hand-numbered, signed by both and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The Sea Of Emotion is the first-ever full studio album recorded together by Joe Satriani and Steve Vai as SatchVai. Two of the defining guitarists of modern rock, Satriani and Vai have shaped generations of players through their groundbreaking solo careers and their shared history on stages around the world.
More than five decades after a teenage Vai first took guitar lessons from Satriani, the two finally bring their distinct musical voices together across an entire album of brand-new songs. Satriani‘s melodic instinct meets Vai‘s adventurous, expressive approach on ‘Mayhem’, ‘Bronco Freight Train’, ‘Dancing’, ‘I Wanna Play My Guitar’ featuring Glenn Hughes and the three-part title suite.
