By The Atomic Chaser
Dazzling technique and a great guitar sound that is what awaits you with 'Wicked Music Box', the latest release from guitarist Dave Celentano. What amazed the most was how Dave Celentano mixes his obviously excruciatingly detailed talent with raw energy and a vivid imagination. What does that mean? He'll blow you away with intricate electric jams, that melt your ears with blistering solos. It's truly is an out of this world experience listening Dave Celentano play his guitar. Beautiful playing, atmospheric, shredulicious and the songwriting is excellent, completely original. What more could you ask for? In an age when the guitar hero seems to be all but dead there is Dave Celentano. Pressing play is opening a door to a mind blowing audio experience that will leave a lasting impression. From the opening, "Bulldozer" to the sizzling movers like, "Predator Rain" and "Swamp Thang". The music that is on this recording is guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of you neck stand up and send a shot of electricity up your spine. The playing is superb and the melodies are outstanding. 'Wicked Music Box' will keep you guessing, never becoming stale or boring, displaying an array of dazzling technique and great guitar sound. It's an excellent CD for any guitar lover, and his style definitely stands out among all the others in the instrumental guitar genre. I highly recommend 'Wicked Music Box' with no hesitation. It's eclectic and goes through different styles. Threaded by the awesome songwriting and guitar playing of guitarist Dave Celentano. A futuristic sounding musician in full control of his talent and creativity. This guy is really that good.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
