Description
Release Date Friday 29th January 2027
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
Modern Primitive is based on song sketches and works-in-progress penned and recorded by Vai following the release of his debut album
Flex-Able, in January 1984. In his liner notes for the record Steve writes: “The music on Flex-Able is so vastly different from Passion And Warfare,
one could wonder if the same guy actually made both records … Modern Primitive is the missing link between these two records.
It’s sort of Cro-Magnon Vai". It was completed around 2015 and released on a CD double pack together with the remastered version of
Passion And Warfare to commemorate that record's 25th anniversary. Now, for the first time ever, Modern Primitive will be available on vinyl to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Modern Primitive is available as a 10th anniversary edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on caramel brown coloured vinyl and includes a 20-page booklet with photos and liner notes by Steve Vai.
