March 16, 2013 at 10:54 pmSly Guitar is a very good album.Although fully instrumental,it has a variety of moods and textures created by a blend of interesting loops and effects which remind me of Fripp,Brook,Eno,Byrne,Sylvian,even Kraftwerk to name a few.That is not to say this is unoriginal at all,it bears John Ellis’ unique range of guitar styles accompanied by excellent rhythms and there is a lot of diversity here in an ambient setting.
I think if you like “My life in the bush of ghosts”(Eno/Byrne) or “Cobalt Blue”(Michael Brook) you will like this.
