Artesguitars, the stage persona for German guitarist Fritz Knebel, has released a fifteen track CD entitled Devices In Popmusic. Only slightly even touching a popular notion of 'pop music', the CD features instrumental, groovy guitar rock with rhythmic heaviness and crunch, where appropriate. Many other influences are also incorporated into the diverse material, such as a bit of jazz, soft alternative, ambient world music, strong '70s-style riffs and even a classic track (Paganini's Cappricio Op. 1 No 24). With Devices In Popmusic, devotees of instrumental guitar albums get a very balanced, intelligent and sensous album here. Highlights include "Sometimes", "Next", "Diaspora", "Flying Zebras" and "Three Giants". Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Rock), total running time, 57:13
