Moore first achieved acclaim with the 1987 release of Mind?s Eye that earned him ?Best New Talent? honors in the reader?s polls of Guitar Player and Guitar World magazines. His six albums, including Time Odyssey, Meltdown, Out of Nowhere, The Maze, Livel, and Defying Gravity ? all of which sold over 100,000 copies, cemented his position as one of today?s leading instrumental guitar-rock stylists, and his two instrumental videos have sold over 25,000 copies.

The band released their newest album, The Monkey Puzzle, this September and will spend the next few months continuing their international tour.
