CD Reviews

Profound Music from a Guitar Genius!
Craig LeHoullier | Raleigh, NC USA | 07/15/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard this when just released on LP, back in the early 1980's, and the aural impact is just as great today! There are subtle differences between the ECM CD (note the added distorted bass guitar that enters half way through track 1 on the CD - a great effect - and the mix for track 4 is very different on the CD, much less "country-ish"). Though Tibbetts' music has become more sophisticated - and louder! - on recent CD's, all of the seeds for greatness are exhibited on this indispensable disc. This is truly great stuff!!!!"
A tour de force of instrumental guitar wizardry

"This cd is an example of the musician as artist transcending established musical boundaries and spurning any limitations that commercial interests might have imposed. Any fan of guitar innovation or anyone appreciative of experiencing a true artistic vision should have this cd. Musicians and deep thinkers - this is a must !"
One of my favourites

"One of my favourites, Tibbetts represents sort of a guitarists' guitarist. His style is, to me, well up front and his technique sounds avant-garde. Like Leo Kottke, Ronnie Montrose, Don Ross and a bunch of others worth the nickname of 'guitar heroes', Steve Tibbetts' urgency as a musician is definitely important. YR and Exploded View are the key albums coming to my mind's eye while considering a first purchase. If you favour more than average sophisticated music, you should give it a try."
