Echo Waves

Rigorously disciplined and also a free-form freakout.

I think that every sound on this album is guitar-originated.

As a guitarist, I often dislike listening to guitarists. Especially rockers. Especially rockers who use a lot of pedals to adjust their sound, and frequently zoom into needly-noodly squealy land. Fuck those jerks.

This guy is an exception. I'll listen to him any time. Something about the krautrock rockers that is especially true here: they knew how to play guitar solos in such a way that they actually sound ego-less. They're not showing off, they're blasting off. And they're taking you along.

Often this almost sounds like techno, only guitar-based. Intense krautrock jammy techno.

Enjoy!

Softly as my Les Paul

His story is amazing. I once read that John Coltrane told him to keep doing what he was doing because he was "on to something." And If you didn't know, in 1980 he had surgery because of a brain aneurysm. Afterwards he had complete amnesia. He woke up knowing nothing about himself and he had to relearn how to play is guitar. His interviews are always inspiring; this one I love. He is a superhero because of his recovery and strength of his inner will. He had to relearn everything. I prefer tabla bols to his perfection Tabula rasa. Can you imagine someone playing you this live recording and saying you can relearn this. "Sure you can. Just start with a simple scale,"...and believe them!
Ive been told this is out of print. This version is from Japan- of course. Here is Martino in his first prime....The first time I played this in my lonely Shikouian alcove I plucked the goosebumps off my skin just to bring me back to Earth. The version of the pop song Sunny is timeless. I hadn't heard the song since the era of station wagons and Gremlins.

Dig it.....yes, that is really his guitar......
