Anyone expecting a piece of delicate acoustic artistry after espying the front sleeve will soon be arrested by the torrent of full throttle electric that burst forth on the opening title track. Like Chris' previous efforts, this is a one-man band effort and pretty impressive it is too with only the keys appearing a little heavy handed. But on guitar Chris is a virtuoso and whether you go for the lilting classical guitar stylings of "Sounds Of Bells" or the head to the sky "Mr Guitar Man" (a tribute to Hendrix), you'll hear a master musician overcoming a tiny budget to make excellent instrumental music.
