ans of guitar driven instrumentals will find plenty to please on "Opus 1",
the debut from the Illinois based Hess. Twelve well-crafted tunes with a
progressive/classical flavor showcasing the impeccable guitar-work of both
Tom Hess and Mike Walsh without turning the songs into stale guitar workouts
with no substance. A superb disc that would fit perfectly among anything in
the Shrapnel catalogue.
