Work as a recording engineer in Cape Town during the early 1990's enabled guitarist Sean Mercer to record the original neoclassical instrumental compositions now available on his debut CD, Electric Storm. When Shrapnel Records chief Mike Varney first heard Mercer's guitar playing, he remarked, "Sean's demo showcases his skills as a producer, engineer, writer, performer, and keyboardist. His set of neo-classical instrumentals are reminiscent at times of works by Tony MacAlpine. Complex arrangements, tightly played ensemble lines, and a grand display of thematic solo work should make this tape of particular interest to neo-classical fusion fans." A total of twelve instrumentals are in store, all of which demonstrate Mercer's melodic playing and flair for the dramatic.
