GUITARS is a 10-track 1999 release that showcases Mike Oldfield playing a variety of acoustic guitars and features the tunes "Muse" and "Enigmatism."

Ever the sonic experimentalist, Mike Oldfield uses guitars exclusively (strummed, plucked, struck, sampled, etc.) to create every sound on Guitars. Perhaps an intentional response to the composer's previous assortment of electronic recordings, the album suffers from its form-over-substance concept. The more delicate, acoustic material ("Summit Days," "Muse," "Enigmatism") has the meditative, elegant quality listeners would naturally expect from Oldfield. But the crunchier rock guitar ensembles seem to lack Oldfield's usual sense of order and purpose. "Four Winds," an unfinished cluster of distorted racket, really misses its mark. Miscues like this one demonstrate that Oldfield is as awkward with the rock form as he is accomplished with his subtle and meditative electronic creations. Innovative and at times beautiful, Guitars is another interesting experiment from one of modern music's most ambitious icons. ~ Vincent Jeffries

1999 album, his return to guitar-based stylings after the new age legend's recent dance-oriented releases. 10 tracks total including 'Muse', 'Embers' and 'Four Winds'. Every soundon this album, including the drum sounds, were made by liveguitars, midi guitar and individual guitar samples.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Mike Oldfield Shows Off His Best
His many albums show that Mike Oldfield is innovative, but "Guitars" is the most dedicated CD of all. It's almost impossible to believe that he can get so many different sounds out of a guitar, and yet you are also drawn to the intricate composition he's also noted for.

5 stars Mike Oldfield enters new level
Given that hype, or rather lack of, surrounding this new album from Mike Oldfield I was not expecting what I got. It is a more mellow, and maybe more mature Mike which is very very pleasant on the ears. I still really enjoy most of Mike's albums but this time he seems to have stopped searching and found what he was looking for. I've had it for 2 weeks now and listened to it at least twice every night. Excellent, excellent album!

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

Guitars album
CD $38.49  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes. DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours ...

Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs  (1990)

Guitars CD music
CD $15.29  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos. This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time in many ways. If Poco had arrived on the scene in the early '90s, they would have been kings of the country charts. Of course, without Poco, country music wouldn't have taken on the rock trappings that it did in the '80s and '90s. As it was, the band was considered too country for the Top 40 rock format of the time, and too rock & roll for country radio. This set is the place to start for an appreciation of the original ...

Structure Of Scientific Misconceptions/The System Of Scientific Misconstructions CD  (2001)

Guitars songs
CD $11.49
As the last entry in ToYo Records' four-part Science Single Series, The Structure of Scientific Misconceptions/The System of Scientific Misconstructions offers up 13 tracks by six of the Left Coast's quirkiest and most promising punk-oriented acts, from experimental twitch rockers Erase Errata to Tae Won Yu's more pop-oriented solo project, KG. And while its grandiose title implies a conceptual framework surrounding the facts and fictions of scientific research, the compilation seems more concerned with artistic cohesion than offering up any philosophical takes on the subject at hand. And in terms of sonic consistency, at least, Structure succeeds like few other compilations do: these off-kilter robo-rock bands are all bizarrely original enough to hold their own, yet also sound as if ...
Darkness & The Day
Stephen Hero Darkness & The Day CD  (2002) Import

Guitars album
CD $13.39
Darkness & the Day is Patrick Fitzgerald's first full-length album that doesn't include guitar input from his former Kitchens of Distinction bandmate Julian Swales. Without Swales, it's hard for Fitzgerald to climb the epic swirling peaks he'd easily bounded in the past, but there's still a great deal to like about the album, not the least of which is Fitzgerald's perfect, commanding vocals. Fitzgerald is at his best here when he's operating at a quick pace and injecting a bevy of emotions into the stew. "Hexmass Waltz" and "NYC" are the album's early standouts, as paranoid drunken imagery of mountains Fitzgerald has claimed for himself and a plane's wings touching the Empire State reveal mixed emotions of love, paranoia, and desperation. It should be noted that "NYC" was written in 1999, and it has nothing to do ...

Link Quartet Beat It CD  (2002)

Guitars CD music
CD $13.49  Audio Samples
"Beat.It" is raw 60's drenched fuel to feed a world dominated by an otherwise anemic and bland soundscape. How Hammond organ funk is meant to be heard."Beat.It" is also the sound for the 2004 motion picture "Wilson Chance" (Bunzendahl Brothers Productions), which provided 5 songs to sit side-by-side with a fresh score by 007 guitar legend Vic Flick. And if that wasn't enough, the meeting of the Link Quartet, Hammondbeat, and Wilson Chance has resulted in a special soundtrack album ("The Sound of Danger", March 2, 2004) featuring over 70 minutes of new music, also available at CDbaby!The Link Quartet have arrived! Following their second US tour in June 2004 (capped by the massive ModChicago event) and the completion of their next album, the boys are taking ...
