Silkroad/Kinu-Michi - 1st is actually Japanese guitarist Koji Tsumoto`s second all instrumental CD, and this one is billed as "the ultimate modal instrumental progressive rock from Asia" - just the beginning of the 32-Year-Project. Tsumoto uses an arsenal of Ibanez guitars to deliver a wide range of textures, tones and moods within a hard rock context. Exhilarating and packed with interesting guitar moments, Silkroad/Kinu-Michi - 1st has fourteen tracks which place the spotlight on Tsumoto`s playing and really show what he can do. You`ll hear blazing single string moments, exotic scales, stellar rhythm work and more - all eminating from Tsumoto`s blistering bag of tricks. Well worth checking out.
