}} ''Flying in a Blue Dream'' is the third studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on October 30, 1989 through Relativity Records.〔 It is one of Satriani's most popular albums and his second highest-charting release to date, reaching No. 23 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200〔("Flying in a Blue Dream - Joe Satriani | Awards" ). ''AllMusic''. All Media Network. Retrieved 2014-03-21.〕 and remaining on that chart for 39 weeks,〔("Joe Satriani - Chart history" ). ''Billboard''. Retrieved 2014-03-21.〕 as well as reaching the top 40 in three other countries.〔("Joe Satriani - Flying In A Blue Fream (album)" ). ''finnishcharts.com''. Hung Medien. Retrieved 2014-03-21.〕 Four singles reached ''Billboards Mainstream Rock chart: "I Believe" and "Back to Shalla-Bal" both at No. 17, "Big Bad Moon" at No. 31, and "One Big Rush" at No. 36.〔 ''Flying in a Blue Dream'' was certified Gold on January 25, 1990〔 and received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1991 Grammy Awards;〔("33rd Grammy Awards - 1991" ). Rock On The Net. Retrieved 2014-03-21.〕 this being Satriani's third such nomination. ==Overview== In a 2014 interview with MusicRadar, Satriani described the writing and recording process for ''Flying in a Blue Dream'' as "A very stressful time" and that "It was just so difficult and insane, but there was also this enormous amount of creativity. I was so excited that I had fans! ()."〔Bosso, Joe (2014-04-08). ("Joe Satriani talks The Complete Studio Recordings album by album | Flying In A Blue Dream (1989)" ). ''MusicRadar''. Future Publishing. Retrieved 2014-04-08.〕 Comprising a varied and eclectic range of styles, the album contains the most tracks—eighteen—of any one Satriani album; ''Time Machine'' (1993) has more tracks in total, but is a double album. The title track has endured as one of Satriani's best-known songs and is a mainstay at his concerts, as well as "The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing".〔("The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing by Joe Satriani" ). setlist.fm. Retrieved 2014-04-08.〕 "Can't Slow Down", "Strange", "I Believe", "Big Bad Moon", "The Phone Call" and "Ride" feature him singing for the first time; the most on any of his albums to date. It also marks the first time he plays the banjo—"The Feeling" is performed entirely using that instrument—and harmonica, the latter of which features prominently on "Headless", "Big Bad Moon" and "Ride". "Headless" is a remake of the "The Headless Horseman" from ''Not of This Earth'' (1986), but with added distorted vocals and harmonica along with a 'squawky' guitar tone making chicken-like sounds. "Day at the Beach (New Rays from an Ancient Sun)" and "The Forgotten (Part One)" are performed using a two-handed tapping technique. Music videos for the ballad "I Believe" and hard rocker〔 "Big Bad Moon" were included on ''The Satch Tapes'', which was first released on VHS cassette in 1993 and reissued on DVD on November 18, 2003;〔("The Satch Tapes" ). satriani.com. Retrieved 2014-03-21.〕 it also includes excerpts from an MTV performance of "The Feeling". "One Big Rush" was featured in the 1989 film ''Say Anything...'' "Back to Shalla-Bal" refers to Shalla-Bal, the empress of Zenn-La, from the Marvel Comics universe; it is the second reference to The Silver Surfer character, who was featured on the cover art of ''Surfing with the Alien'' (1987). The track was later used as the menu music to the 1996 Sony PlayStation video game ''Formula 1'', which also featured "Summer Song" from ''The Extremist'' (1992). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flying in a Blue Dream」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
