Jens Johansson
Fission
The Story
Jens Johansson follows up the highly touted "Heavy Machinery" album with "Fission", a fusion classic that joins Johansson with brother Anders and guitar legends Shawn Lane and Mike Stern (Miles Davis). These incredible progressive songs feature some of the wildest solos in fusion history. Lane guests on "Hooded Strangers", while Stern lays it out on "Phase Camoflage" and the highly charged "Race Condition". The two guitarists cut heads on "Acrostic Shibboleth", while Johansson blankets the remainder of "Fission" with his trademark, guitar-like Polysix solos and organ beds.
