This is the third album from Rick Ray that I've come across and it's a bit different to the previous two. It's a little heavier and more seventies progressive rock oriented while the use of clarinet by Rick Schultz is more prominent on this album than on any of the others. And, it's an instrumental album. The twelve songs fill almost an hour and there's quite a lot of lead guitar playing. The solos in Anymore for example are as long as this instrumental is. You can hear faster than fast note picking. You either like it or it starts working on your nerves. Rick Ray freaks on playing guitar, which is evident in this track as on the rest of Insanity Flies. Each song is different but has the elements of the endless soloing and the singular use of clarinet. There's a lot of creativity on this instrumental piece, yet it's not my cup of tea.
