Melting Clocks is the debut solo recording by Orphaned Land guitarist Yossi Sassi and not unlike the unique and unorthadox sound of said band, this album trailblazes a whole new path in the Metal world. Featuring ex-Megadeth guitar whiz Marty Friedman and playing a whole host of traditional instruments (saz, bousouki, oud, chambush to name but a few), Melting Clocks takes you on a whirlwind musical journey around the world. The Orphaned Land clash of Middle Eastern sounds, progressive music, funky grooves and amazing melodies are combined into an all instrumantal album that is certainly one of the more diverse and atmospheric albums you will hear. If you are into Orphaned Land, Doom Metal, Progressive Rock or instumental music, Meltig Clocks is certainly an album you will want to experience!

This is a great Israeli/Oriental album. Yossi Sassi is an awesome guitar, he is really unique, and I'm glad that he is pursuing his solo career. He did a wonderful job with Orphaned Land. God bless him.

Excellent album de guitariste, mais pas que.
Une excellente surprise que cet album de Yossi Sassi. Le guitariste officie également au sein du groupe Orphaned Land qui donne dans l'oriental-métal.Ici, on ressent certes quelques petites touches orientales, mais elles sont discrètes. L'album, dans son ensemble, me rappelle plutôt les essais de Joe Satriani, époque Flying in a Blue Dream. Les titres alternent entre morceaux rapides et calmes, et quelques uns sont chantés. La guitare est bien entendue mise en avant, mais elle n'écrase pas tout, laissant de la place aux autres instruments. Le style est certes "guitar-heroesque" mais il est beaucoup moins énervé et plus varié que le dernier Myrath par exemple.Bref, une excellente surprise pour les amateurs en manque du style guitar-heroe de qualité, plus très en vogue en ce moment.
