Engines Of Creation (album)
Engines of Creation is the eighth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on March 14, 2000 through Epic Records. The album is a unique and notable departure from Satriani's usual style in that it mainly features experimentation with electronic and techno music, rather than the straightforward instrumental rock heard on his previous albums. With the exception of "Until We Say Goodbye" (which received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 2001 Grammy Awards), all tracks were made using guitars recorded and mixed untraditionally on computer platforms, as well as being digitally manipulated using synthesizers and computer software.
A supplemental EP, Additional Creations, was released free of charge alongside Engines of Creation in the United States. It was acquired by asking vendors for it specifically, and remains a collector's item to this day.

Famous quotes containing the words engines and/or creation:
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
