12 awesome plankton-fied trax - 58 minutes
(GYR004) |
ARMED WITH AN ARSENAL OF STRATS AND MARSHALLS, PLANKTON PUSHES
PLANKTON features two amazing gifted guitarists named CHRISTIAN NEPPENSTROM and EMIL FREDHOLM
and together, backed by an outstanding rhythm section, otherwise known as the BROTHERS IN GROOVE, have
successfully created an incredible heavy guitar work of art in the form of the PLANKTON disc (exclusively available on
GROOVEYARD RECORDS...a new label dedicated to top-shelf world class TOTAL GUITAR music).
Armed with an arsenal of STRATS and MARSHALLS and taking their cue from the classic, retro-bluesy heavy guitar
heros of yesterday and today, PLANKTON (meaning HEAVY WOOD) has created their own original and unique brand of
instrumental heavy guitar "EARTH BLUES FUSION".
Drawing from a vast pool of musical influences and inspirations, the PLANKTON disc is HIGHLY recommended for fans
of HENDRIX (long live jimi...), ROBIN TROWER,
FRANK MARINO, ULI JON ROTH, MICHAEL SCHENKER, LESLIE WEST (MOUNTAIN), CREAM, GOV'T MULE, TOMMY BOLIN, ERIC JOHNSON, STEVE MORSE, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, WISHBONE ASH and any other true heavy guitar hero you can think of.
The music of PLANKTON ranges from hard-assed funked-out Hendrix wah-wah land to the deepest vintage Trower to Uli's
astral skies to elegantly trippy tones that are guaranteed to blow your heavy guitar mind.
The PLANKTON disc features 12 awesome instrumental heavy guitar trax that are parallel to none, complete with unique
themes revolving around such topics as swedish fairytale giants, levitating in spring, monsoons, groovedawgs in pickadoll land,
a strange obsession with the elephantman and taking a humble colossus trip through the universal walkabout...complete with an
incredibly brilliant version of TAKE FIVE by the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
The music of PLANKTON is inspirational on many levels, and we strongly urge all of the "serious heavy guitar freaks" in
guitarland who dig REAL guitar playing to tune into the "PURE HEAVY GUITAR BEAUTY" of PLANKTON.

How to Order the C.D.
THE ENVELOPE
OF TOTAL GUITAR INTO THE "OUTSKIRTS OF INFINITY" AND BEYOND.
On their debut self-titled disc PLANKTON, an "out of this world" & incredible instrumental dual heavy guitar band
from Stockholm, Sweden pushes the envelope of "TOTAL GUITAR" into the "outskirts of infinity" and beyond.
"Plankton resurrects the spirit of Jimi Hendrix.. their first CD is an instrumental tribute
to the mood and attitude of rock's greatest legend.. though the material is original.
Their double-guitar assault leaves listeners breathless, as if Jimi's shadow came to life
and worked with him to create musical magic."
with rad jaw-dropping chops on their self-titled debut. A seamless blend of classic retro-70s rock,
blues, jazz and progressive elements combine to create emotionally powerful grooves
which provide the sonic foundation from which this twin lead juggernaut melodically soars
with sophisticated and soulful riffage. Add the tasteful "just right" use of vintage effects to all of the above,
and you have something truly rare, exquisite and awesome. Plankton pulls it all together in this tightly focused
and wonderfully stylized dual guitar sonic assault. Words are insufficient to convey
the power and the passion burned into this CD. You simply must listen to it to believe it. Period.
If you've been waiting to find that one unforgettable "must-have" in your CD collection, this is your lucky day.
You just found it - Plankton is the real deal. End of story."
