Solo project of ludicrous guitarist Tosin Abasi. It's best described as "technical speed-prog but with awesome songwriting" - the antidote to Dream Theater, if you will. Dude has a great melodic sensibility and keeps things relatively concise. It's a very accessible listen, but it's also highly creative, mind-warping music. Anyway, after that build-up I'd better prime Spotify...
