Ever the sonic experimentalist, Mike Oldfeld uses guitars exclusively (strummed, plucked, struck, sampled, etc.) to create every sound on "Guitars"

The more delicate, acoustic material "Summit Days," "Muse," and "Enigmatism" has the meditative, elegant quality listeners would naturally expect from Oldfeld. But the crunchier rock guitar ensembles seem to lack Oldfeld's usual sense of order and purpose. "Four Winds," an unfnished cluster of distorted racket, really misses its mark. Innovative and at times beautiful, "Guitars" is another interesting experiment from one of modern music's most ambitious icons.

* A bold concept album created entirely from guitar sounds only.
* A showcase of guitar versatility, featuring strummed, plucked, struck and fully sampled textures.
* Includes beautifully atmospheric pieces like Summit Days, Muse and Enigmatism, highlighting Oldfeld's melodic sensitivity.
* Features dynamic rock- oriented tracks that push the boundaries of guitar- based composition.

Tracks: Muse / Cochise / Embers / Summit Day / Out Of Sight / B. Blues / Four Winds / Enigmatism / Out Of Mind / From The Ashes
