Adrian Galysh Review of "Earth Tones" @ iTunes By: Robert Silverstein ne of the finest proponents of orchestral rock fusion guitar, Adrian Galysh brings it back home with his 2008 Earth Tones CD. Galysh earned the respect of listeners and guitarists alike with his 2002 King Friday album and he outdoes himself with 2008's Earth Tones. In addition to pairing with the rhythm section of Marco Mendoza (bass) and Joey Heredia (drums), Galysh bolsters his sound thanks to guest appearances by top players such as Carl Verheyen, who lends his guitar talents on a track here. Commenting on his 2008 album, Galysh adds,"Earth Tones is a bit more focused than King Friday was. With Earth Tones I had the idea of making an instrumental concept album that included influences of world music from many different cultures. I also included natural sounds of elements like rain, fire, wind, and the ocean as segues between tunes, which added to the Earth Tones theme." Galysh is a powerhouse electric guitarist and he puts jhis fretboard finesse and compositional strengths to fine use on Earth Tones. © Robert Silverstein / 20th Century Guitar Magazine Contact Earth Tones Terrestrial Races True Happiness Defiance, Ohio Planetary Cycles
