Phi Yaan-Zek: To Buy

Solar Flare - CD

PHI YAAN-ZEK: Solar Flare

Condensed sunshine filtered through the guitar, then radiated out Mahavishnu/Zappa style, with wild drum grooves, world music sounds, adventurous stylistic changes and progressive melodies.

Featuring German Über drummer Marco Minnemann (Paul Gilbert/Mike Keneally), keyboard virtuoso Lale Larson (Karmakanic/Electrocution 250/RHP) and multidynamic bassist Fabio Trentini, eccentric UK guitarist Phi Yaan-Zek’s third CD release “Solar Flare” is an exceptional compositional tour-de-force played with incredible fire. Flowing from funky jazz fusion grooves to wild odd-meter drum ‘n’ bass to polymetric metal, to epic prog-rock melodies and solos, the music is a dynamic adventure that recalls the energy of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Steve Vai-like guitar intensity, Zappa style quirkiness and the passionate performances of Jeff Beck.

Add to the picture the kind of exceptional guitar playing that stands up to the rigorous demands of such dynamic music. Phi's individual playing comfortably spans the gap from emotional and passionate phrasing on the ballads 'So Far Away' and 'Passion Reborn', to insane alien hyper shred guitar tradeoffs with Bumblefoot on 'Psychometamorph'. The album also features a whole cast of other guest instrumentalists - including Peter Stacey on flute/saxophone, and ex-Gryphon bassonist Brian Gulland among others.
