Some people’s creativity with musical instruments is so out there you can’t quite be sure it all makes sense, or if it will crash and burn on the side of the road. The Andretti, the nom de plume of New Jersey’s Joe Ferrara, twists and turns his way around a musical Le Mans endurance race with eleven adventurous, avant-garde tracks on his new release, “Suicide, Italian Style” before crossing the finish line, victorious, no matter what the charts say.

It’s an epic, rewarding trip for those brave enough to ride shotgun on his frenetic and fast-paced ride through a melting pot of surf, metal, Latin, Morricone, Italian Spaghetti Westerns, Blue Oyster Cult, Zappa, glam and “Repo Man” apocalyptic irony. Not all will survive, but that’s what happens on the road to the apocalypse.
