The debut solo CD from guitarist Andy Butler showcases an accomplished and mature talent. Utilising Echoplex looping systems, the highly structured and composed pieces were recorded in real time, with no subsequent overdubs added. Occasionally recalling the experimental solo guitar work of Phil Manzanera, Robert Fripp and Andy Summers, as well as drawing on complex gamelan rhythms, Butler’s intriguing compositions avoid much of the improvised indulgence associated with the contemporary looping scene. |
