Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock

Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock is the twelfth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on April 1, 2008, through Epic Records.

[15] The final two tracks, "Asik Vaysel" and "Andalusia", were both inspired by the late Aşık Veysel, a critically acclaimed figure of Turkish folk literature.

On a podcast prior to the album's release, Satriani explained that a publishing error was the reason why Aşık Veysel's name was misspelled "Asik Vaysel" on the back cover, and that it would be corrected on subsequent pressings.

[17] Jason Lymangrover at AllMusic gave Professor Satchafunkilus three stars out of five, saying that Satriani "shines in his ability to hold back and write tasteful verse/chorus songs with memorable hooks."

One song that was criticized as a low point was "I Just Wanna Rock", but highlights included "Overdriver", "Musterion", "Andalusia", "Asik Vaysel", and the title track.
