Dancing Madly Backwards

Dancing Madly Backwards is Califonia guitarist Howard Hart's debut CD, featuring a dozen tracks on which Hart displays a mastery of touch and tone on both electric and acoustic, and a sensibility which harkens back to those pre-shred days of fusion, and Jeff Beck albums that mattered. Hart uses numerous guitar tones and an advanced sense of dynamics to express emotions and moods on songs such as "Purusha" (which was inspired by Indian music) and "Suspension Of Disbelief", a track in which Hart rips and snorts with bursts of guitar mayhem over carefully sequenced backing material. Simply a great rock/fusion recording.
