It is eleven tracks dominated by strong guitar lines, no vocals, strong melodies and an excellent production. The sound is very exciting, like walk through an exciting jungle where there is a lot more to be seen than what first meets the eye.
Platz is a guitarist, all his compositions are instrumental, and the guitar does indeed dominate the proceedings through and through. There is room for both the different drummers and bassists contributing to shine, but never in a similar manner to Platz and his guitars. The album shows a lot of strength,mainly in their choruses, with a strong presence of Bass . You could say that the album starts out well but looses a bit towards the end, not that it ends poorly but it is noticeably less good in the end than in the start.
This German musician joins the ranks of guitar heroes with a rather impressive debut album. An album with a foundation in metal, but touching upon both jazz rock and funk frequently, and with plenty of variety and versatility in both support instrument and lead instrument performance and expression. As far as recommendations go, fans of instrumental guitar albums in general and metal-oriented ones in particular can note down that this is a production they will most likely enjoy.
Do you like Instrumental Rock Music? if the answer to that question is yes, add this album to your collection is a good choice.
