Mostly fast, showy, mostly finger-style, acoustic guitar, with folk and New Age influences. RIYL John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Tommy Emmanuel, Mason Williams, etc. Compositions by Engleheart (except 4, 8, 10). All instrumental (but #12 has a tiny bit of very quiet singing).
No FCC issues.
1 Mid-tempo. New Age-y, impressionistic. A little dreary. Nothing special. (3:03)
2 * Up-tempo. Bright sound, showy technique. Pretty cool. (3:38)
3 * First half is slow, thoughtful, pastoral. Second is very fast, showy. (4:02)
4 ** Very fast. Think of Leo Kottke’s “Vasoline Machinegun” (2:51)
5 Two tunes (one lightning fast, one somewhat spiritual), both preceded by Mussorgsky’s famous “Promenade” theme. Overall, a grab bag of ideas and sort of a novelty. (4:48)
6-7. Somewhat New Age-y, Renaissance Faire, pastoral tone poems about trees.
6 Very fast. A foggy, wall of sound. OK, for its style. (2:01)
7 * Mid-tempo. Very pretty in places. This is the better one of the pair. (5:07)
8 ** Fast & powerful. Folk inspired virtuoso playing, like John Fahey. Best of set. (3:03)
9 * Fast to super fast. Playful and good humored, but a bit silly as well. (3:45)
10 Very fast. Acoustic reading of a Jimi Hendrex tune. Loses a lot in translation. (3:42)
11 ** Slow, beautiful ballad with cello accompaniment. Folk, Spanish, and Classical hints. Recorded live 30+ years ago at UCLA. Excellent. (3:24)
12 * Very fast to ultra fast. Stirring with World music hints (maybe a tabla). Reminded me a little of John McLaughlin’s stuff with his Shakti band. (5:46)
13 Slow. Dreamy. Perhaps a bit jazzy. (1:39)
