And it's not even Friday. Very sloppy indeed.

I agree.

Very dynamic music also with alluring ambiences hiding in the dark. Lots of mesmerizing Marc Anderson on various percussion too on this. Add Bob Hughes on the bass, and you have what was quite a unique trio, sounding unlike anything else really. Just amazing.

Fiery and fierce distorted outbursts, Tibbetts is really channeling his inner Hendrix here, but with his very own feel for melodic structures and chord progressions.

Well, I have not heard all of the later stuff. But the experimental side is perhaps a bit more subtle on this one? Still sounding very much like them.

If you haven't heard his music before you may find it too meandering and episodic at first listen, but there is a whole colorful world in there to dive into if you listen deep enough.

As someone said - Tibbetts has turned virtuosity inward (most obvious on his later albums though). Resulting in a more introvert, but subconsciously rewarding expression.

also people like Jim O'Rourke and David Sylvian are fans. Back then I immediatly fell in love with the original approach to composing these alluring circles of subtle melodicism and the lush elements of organic samples and percussion, not to mention Tibbetts' unique touch on the guitar.

I discovered it 15 years ago or so after reading an interview with Mark McGuire, where he mentioned Tibbetts as one of his favorite guitar players. At that time I didn't know any people who knew about Tibbetts and his music, but now I know that besides friends I connect with online,

Amen.

Maybe my description is off, just my immediate impression, but I definitely recommend giving it a listen anyway.

But still this is something modern unlike anything you've heard before, besides maybe parts of Toral's last record "Spectral Evolution". Among the best music I've heard this year.

Had it been recorded in the 1970s with the equipment of that time it would probably have fitted perfectly into the aesthetic of something like Eno's Obscure Records.

...generated by electric guitar and electronics, well here is the sound of exactly that. Somehow nostalgic and futuristic at the same time, not in the retro-futuristic way, no this is a completely new blend.
