about

The third album in the 'Heroes for Ghosts' series showcases Fuzz Finger's unique range of musical styles: From Blues to heavy guitar riffs to funky fretless bass to cinematic synth masterpieces and much more.

The album opens with "Electro the Dragon Tamer" (what a title!) and a few seconds in a mighty guitar riff overtakes the room that, easily, is powerful and clever enough to be on any Zeppelin or Hendrix album. Forty seconds into "Full Metal Jacket" a blistering guitar solo that can melt steel fills the air. So, by the third track the listener is expecting more guitar pyrotechnics, but instead gets a synthesizer soundscape of living machines — the robots are alive in a song called "Artificial Intelligence." Very Blade Runner. Thereafter, "An Orange" and "Antartica" are delicate beauties to soften the mood; poetry on guitar and bass, respectively, with the latter evoking oriental mysticism that doesn't squarely fit into any genre of music. "Troublemaker" and "Beauty Bar" bring back the fancy guitar work, with the latter having an ominous 80s mood fused with Chicago Blues. The album winds down with "Mystery Canyon," that is a cinematic Humphrey Bogart type affair and "1979 Funk," which is exactly what it says on the box: Funky sounds from the 70s reminiscent of bands like Japan just prior to the glossy and refined pop of the 1980s.

Can the first three albums in the series stand with the great guitar and bass albums? Yes. It's Sgt. Pepper's for guitar and the cover art is wild and provocative, with a Bowie-type figure in bed dressed as a kangaroo (or is it a bear?). Even before the album starts playing one is wondering, "What the hell is this going to be about?" The cover art was made by noteworthy modern artist with the only instruction being, 'illustrate what the songs inspire.'

You've heard the expression "the car knows its way home." Well, this album knows its way home. Once you put it on you will forget that it's playing. It guides you by the hand through magical dimensions and shades of color. It knows where it's going.
