Description/Reviews
Thankfully, despite it being predominantly jazz structured, it has a fairly metallic quality to it in terms of the actual sound and delivery of the tracks so it initially bodes well. Opening track “Pulsar” opens up with some rapid-fire guitar licks, backed up by some symphonic samples, giving a rather extravagant feel to it and as the tracks go on, the back and forth between the guitar and samples/synths is a captivating dynamic as they both rise and fall in opposition yet seamlessly trade the focus from one to another without missing a beat. Rhythmically spot on with some fantastic drums and a really rich bassline carries the song and the chops of the guitarist are not to be scoffed at as he makes fantastic melodies as well as technical artworks of his solo’s.
