ssisted by fusion icons like Mahavishnu violin maven Jerry Goodman and
Phil Chen (bassist on Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow), guitar wiz Marc Klock unleashed his
latest CD Tentacle Dreams in 2004. Echoing the feel of the guitar greats who came
before him, including Holdsworth, McLaughlin and Jeff Beck, Klock taps into the
vintage fusion sound, while also crafting a sonic guitar fusion hybrid for the new
millennium. Recorded at Klock's Fusion Studio in L.A., Tentacle Dreams was produced
and mixed by Klock and the attention to detail and sonic layering is most
apparent-from mastering to pressing. Klock and Goodman share the soundstage, egging
each other on with daredevil pyrotechnics in the finest Mahavishnu Orchestra spirit.
Klock knows when to plow underneath with his cutting edge rhythm work, but he also
knows when it's time to cut loose with a scintillating guitar solo. If you like your
fusion hot and heavy, with guitar work that thrills, pick up on Tentacle Dreams.
