The Elusive Light and Sound, Volume 1

Elusive Light and Sound, Vol. 1 by Steve Vai was released Jun 04, 2002 on the Favored Nations label. Steve Vai fans are a dedicated lot, eager to hear the entirety of the guitarist's work (in that sense, he is very similar to his mentor, Frank Zappa, whose fans would buy collections of just his guitar solos). Given his fan base, Vai had the opportunity to release an album like The Elusive Light and Sound, Volume 1 -- the first installment of an archival series, capturing all the music he's written and recorded for film, television, and theater.
