Rocktopia: Derek Sherinian - 'Oceana' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Phil Ashcroft: It could justifiably be argued that instrumental albums by keyboard players was primarily a seventies phenomenon, where prime exponents like Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson would fill time between stints with their main bands by recording some (self-indulgent?) music of their own. However, no-one seems to have explained this unwritten law to Derek Sherinian, the workaholic ivory tinkler currently employed by both Black Country Communion and Billy Idol, who has had previous spells with Alice Cooper, Kiss, Yngwie Malmsteen, Platypus and of course Dream Theater, along with his own project, Planet X.
