Release Information

From Wikipedia:

Modern Primitive is the ninth studio album by American guitarist Steve Vai, released 24 June 2016 on Epic Records. According to his website, the material on the album was "based on song sketches and works-in-progress penned and recorded by Vai following the release of Flex-Able, his debut album, in January 1984." He sees this material as a link between the stylistically different Flex-Able and Passion and Warfare (1990). The name of the album refers to his "modern" finishing of some of his oldest, most "primitive" works (when he was then in his mid-20s).[3]
