On Alien Guitar: Modern Rock Guitar Vol. II, a new ground breaking release for 2001, guitarist Denis Taaffe combines regular guitar, blistering solos and guitar loops done on the fly to break new ground in modern rock guitar and in the process defines a unique multi layered guitar style. All tracks are one takes, done live-in-the-studio with no overdubs, and must be heard to be appreciated. The CD just features Taaffe and his rack of musical gear - plus the inspiration of the moment. As writer Pete Prown has stated, "All told, Alien Guitar: Modern Rock Guitar Vol. II contains the kind of kooky, maverick genius rarely heard on guitar albums these days. Here's a guy who dares to be different, take chances, and risks making mistakes... it's the sound of one guitarist with a cool idea and the ingenuity to effectively put it down in recorded form. "
