Warren Cuccurullo followed the path Frank Zappa to Missing Persons to Duran Duran and then to Blondie. Some may think that Machine Language emasculates the guitar into an electronic eunuch, but many would disagree. A part of so many trailblazing projects, Cuccurullo seems to need direction here, but others would say he has crossed boundaries. In sufficient numbers, guitar magazines praised the previous Thanks to Frank, and critical accolades also lauded the minimalist Machine Language. – Tom Schulte
