There can be no denying that Chris Pusey is a phenomenal guitarist. His breathtaking fret board acrobatics have led some to compare him to the legendary Phil Keaggy. So, what of Chris’s latest offering? Pusey guides us through 10 tracks, venturing across a broad spectrum of soundscapes. From the funky opener “The Battle Is In The Mind” and the cool jazz of “The Call” to the solid rock guitar of “Ascending”, Chris upholds his reputation as an instrumental virtuoso. Make sure you check out the inspired “Etude 2 On A Theme Of Paganini” with its Latin-tinged beat, not to be confused with Franz Liszt’s composition of a similar name. My personal favourite is the altogether more chilled “Angels” with its serene synths and Chris’s epic guitar solo. Once again, Chris has delivered a fine instrumental album. But there will always be those who prefer the more conventional ‘Praise Him On The Noseflute’ or something…
