nother Chicago-based axeman that's multi-talented and has put something out quite extraordinary and pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music. Some serious crunchy guitars/rhythms Matt comes up with and shows Classical pieces with Bach-like piano excerpts. Matt's guitar tone is pretty thick and muddy as well but it works and this doesn't mean anything as far as being sloppy...the tone was on purpose (like Martone for example and Kopyto..both 7-stringers get quite an original tonality compared to alot of guitarists).
The CD is a short-lived 31 minutes but the creativity, ideas and influences really speak volumes. Fans of older Kollman, Torben Enevoldsen, Edward Box and Martone, will love this CD as well as Matt's songwriting and guitar playing talents.
