Synopsis

Product Description

Maniacal and brilliant, double neck fretted and fretless guitarist David 'Fuze' Fiuczynski releases KiF Express, a follow up to his ground-breaking 2001 release Kif. A deeper look into the other-worldly sounds of this lauded and completely original player: Chinese, Indian and Arabic-influenced melodies, high energy jams of his signature rocked-out madness, explorations into new urban rhythms, and plaintive meditations over lush, brooding and microtonal harmonies. With 11 original new songs written by Fuze, this unusual recording sounds like nothing else but the music of tomorrow. Featuring Steve Jenkins on bass and Skoota Warner on drums with special guests.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard about David "Fuze" Fiuczynski through his work with Hiromi's Sonic Bloom. In my experience with listening to crafty guitarists, Fuze takes the cake. Who needs crazy screeching Dragonforce solo's or just plain "look at me" guitar playing?

With "KiF Express," the music journeys through many different styles, cultures, era's, and dynamics, sometimes all of these within one track. You might think "Ok, so it's crazy guitar music?" Crazy is the wrong word. Involved is a good term that captures what this album achieves.

Considered a jazz fusion guitarist, Fuze takes this basic concept and builds upon it with other-worldy sounds. From the Middle Eastern vibe of "Habibi Bounce" to the roots/country feel of "Moonring Bacchanal" and transcendental Far East mood of "Almond Pear," every world region is recognized in some way.

This is a fantastic work of art sure to be enjoyed for many listens to come. Best of all, I'd call it a "work appropriate" album!"
