Legend guitarist John Russell unleash madness in this duets with drummer percussionist Roger Turner. This time, Russell uses an acoustic plectrum guitar which sounds sometimes like a banjo, sometimes like a citar, sometimes like a harp (depending on how he plays it). A lot of weird sounding improvisation is done here. Russell plays tremolos, harmonics and some glissandos while Turner explores his percussion set in an odd manner. Check for example "Fire at my Ribs" with some strange drum patterns by Turner while Russell picks the strings of his guitar in a wild fashion. Interesting experimental duets. Favorite tracks: "Fire at my Ribs", "Piercing the Second Sky" and " Fulcrum". Contact: www.emanemdisc.com
