Crystal Planet is the seventh studio album by the American guitarist Joe Satriani, released on March 3, 1998, by Epic Records.[1] It was his first album to be released on Epic, whereas his previous six albums were released by Relativity Records. Crystal Planet reached No. 50 on the U.S. Billboard 200[2] and remained on that chart for eight weeks,[3] as well as reaching the top 100 in five other countries.[4] "Ceremony" was released as a single, reaching No. 28 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart[2] and featuring Satriani's first recorded use of a seven-string guitar, the Ibanez Universe. "A Train of Angels" was nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1999 Grammy Awards,[5] Satriani's ninth nomination.
Reissues
Crystal Planet has been reissued twice. The first was on June 16, 2008, as part of the Original Album Classics box set,[6] and then again as part of The Complete Studio Recordings, released on April 22, 2014, by Legacy Recordings; this is a box set compilation containing remastered editions of every Satriani studio album from 1986 to 2013.[7]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic called Crystal Planet "an instrumental record with a difference" and Satriani's "finest all-instrumental effort since Surfing With the Alien". He praised Satriani for "taking more chances than ever" and further developing his technique, saying that it reaches "new, uncharted waters".[1]
