Anthology or "greatest hits" album. If you're looking to get into Joe for the first time, start here. When I consider reviewing anthologies, collections and so on, I generally look for a few points, namely does this serve as a good introduction for a listener and putting aside personal preference, is this representative of what the collection seeks to accomplish? "The Electric Joe Satriani" seeks to cover a 20 year career on 2CDs. It focuses on the studio material, meaning nine albums worth of material and one track on an EP, includes one unreleased piece and one track that was a bonus on a Japanese release. The samples pulled from each of his studio albums is quite good and adequately represent each studio work. The older tracks are indeed remastered here. Joe is my favorite instrumentalist by far and my favorite guitar hero too.
