Guitar9.com is the
Internet's most successful instrumental guitar store, and showcases
the best guitarists from around the world, in all genres - they have
a bi-monthly 'undiscovered' section, which currently features Luke
following the release of the CD. They say:
"Submitting
his ten-song instrumental hard rock CD, entitled Time To Breathe,
is the U.K. guitarist Luke Rake. A nimble-fingered axemeister in the
vein of Joe Satriani and Mike Keneally, Rake pays special attention
on several tracks to his intricate arrangements and double- and
triple-tracked guitar, ensuring a quality listen - beyond the rhythm
'n improv approach taken by a lot of beginning shredders. Production
is basic, but the overall goal of Time To Breathe appears to be
split between showcasing Rake's technical chops, which are
unquestioned, and his compositional style. You'll hear a wealth of
modern playing ideas on Rake's CD-R, including tapping, whammy bar
work, minor third harmony (a la Iron Maiden), speed picking, and
delay effect popularized by Edward Van Halen. Rake's recording shows
a lot of promise, and should be the first in a long line of
instrumental projects."
Nice one!
