Joop Wolters - Out of Order
author: Department of Virtuosity (Poland)
This is the third solo album of a Duth multi-instrumentalist known from his collaboration with Arabesque, Shadrane and Hubi Meisel. "Out Of Order" was almost entirely recorded by him as he played the guitar, bass guitar, some keys and did a drum programming. He was supported by two drummers - Patrick Eijdems and Virgil Donati (Planet X, Ring Of Fire, Steve Vai, Derek Sherinian) and two keyboardists - Alex Argento and Mike Roeloefs.
First tracks on the album stylistically oscillate between instrumental hard rock and heavy music in the vibe of Vinnie Moore's and Greg Howe's early works. However, Joop's music is further much more various and consisted of jazzy gambits, fusion-based arrangements, progressive chords, hot flamenco and some improvisations as well. All faster compositions can propel us, and slower ones have a power to calm us down and make us relaxed. Although here are several rave and explosive solos with a great load of verve and sharpness, Joop's music is multi-coloured and multi-shaded indeed.
Allow me to write that Joop Wolters is a self-made musician who didn't have to recruit four guests for "Out Of Order" at all. He is an absolute instrumentalist who totally mastered all needed instruments to produce a balanced album with guitar-oriented music!
