Modern Primitive

Modern Primitive brings together song sketches and works in progress written and recorded by Steve Vai following his 1984 debut, Flex-Able. Completed around 2015, the album connects the experimental spirit of his earliest recordings with the musical world of Passion and Warfare.

Originally released in 2016 alongside the remastered Passion and Warfare, the collection explores a formative period in Vai’s development as a composer and guitarist.
