antel's musical taste has some range to it and so the various tracks (some
vocal, some instrumental) represent a number of guitar styles, while all
finding cohesion in Mantel's personal playing style. The tunes range from
instrumental guitar rock, which had a surge of popularity in the 80s with
artists such as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, to groovy fusion tunage to tasty
blues rock. As with anything boasting this kind of range, some songs will
work better for some listeners than others, but overall, the listening
experience is a quite enjoyable one. I think I lean more toward the
instrumental and blues/jazz fused songs, but most every track on here is a
winner.
