Voodoo Amps’ Senes Custom Mod is now available to everyone!!!!

Translated from Italian

 A little ‘Steve Vai and a bit’ Van Halen, here is the brilliant British guitarist Steve Senes handyman struggling with his debut album. We speak of instrumental music, of course, but rarely in recent times I happened to listen to artists who could sing so well their guitar not to feel the lack of a human voice. Responsible for a variety of songwriting and finished that, more than the mere display of technique, can make a lot of this pleasant listening. The influences that are in fact many are blatantly as it passes very naturally from rock to metal, funk to fusion with a simplicity that is almost crippled. The fact that this work has been entirely built by Steve without any external help (was busy writing, playing, producing and arranging!) Makes us understand how “Theory Of De-Evolution” is essentially a transparent window through which the musician showed off his whole self. I do not know how many fans will recognize him in the end, but definitely worth it to throw an ear.

I must admit that I’m not a big fan of instrumental albums. Yet, this De-Evolution Theory Of a few words to say we did all right. 

The guitar hero Steve Senes is offering a very fine solo debut, which showcases more effective to its full potential. In addition to this, however, the structure of the song, obviously built around the six-string work, is excellent and articulate: metal roots firmly but the ability to wander between several genres (rock, funk, fusion) and feelings with disarming ease. In this way, the pieces are not very technical stain to an end in themselves, but real songs with great class. So, as happens only in the album’s instrumental value, the lack of voice is heard very little, replaced by a guitar and exciting at the highest level. 

I started to write before giving it 10 because it grows with each listen. I need not tell you much more about the songs, because you’re going to hear you without any delay. If you love to hear people who can really play to go buy this disc.Now.

10/10 Stars

“I wanna be you when I grow up”! Not just a random bunch of words, we are quoting the mighty Steve Lukather (Toto) here! And I do believe that these words come from the heart… Steve Senes, self-taught guitarist, a musician going from one side of America to the other and back again, playing on stage every day (!?!), has decided to release his debut… And he managed to destroy everything! I’m sure that His Sevenstringness, Steve Vai himself, is listening to the album, loud and proud, that one of his “sons” has played all that amazing stuff. Whilst “Highball” is running, a song requesting six hands and a hundred fingers… Wow, what the Sen-es that? Okay… “Cop Show” is now playing, featuring a Funk-o-Rock-o-and-other-alien-Satrianix style that drove us all bananas. AMAZING guitarist, clean-cut and multi-leveled. All those themes, leaving flash to jam with Rock, to flirt with Country a bit, to tutti with drums and bass and keys… Drums are programmed of course, yet the work he’s done programming them! My, oh my! Naturally, you can easily guess that Steve has done everything on this album! Due to the fact that awesomic guitarists are much too many and many of them are not that well-known, just grab this album, put it on and remember my words. Those of you into guitar playing, you will hate me for writing such and adore Steve. Those of you simply listening to good music, you will only think “Man, this dude is the shit”! Steve is not playing, he’s flying! I do hope that we’ll soon get to see him live on stage… Costas Koulis

Senes - De-Evolution Of Theory

(Global Music - 2010)

The 1st instrumental album on the the label. He goes by the name of Steve Senes and is pretty damn good I have to say - close to the Satriani kinda league without all the mad space-age sounds going off.

Plenty of guitar highlights here include excellent opener ‘The Swami’ with its killer wailing notation; the beautiful acoustic ‘Ruth’; the madcap ‘Cop Show’ that get’s all funky on us; the ballsy rocker that is ‘Facecheck’; the sliding away cooly sounding ‘High & Mighty’ that reminds me of Satch and such icons. Then there’s the acoustic likable ‘Angel’ and gorgious closer ‘The Afterglow’.

A promising artist indeed.

8/10
