 Earth Tones review
Sea of Tranquility
Catagory: Music
The "Interstellar Café" shred fest is what you'd expect on an instrumental guitar album by a hotshot who pegged Ted Nugent bassist Marco Mendoza and Frank Gambale drummer Joey Heredia to comprise the rhythm section on Earth Tones, Adrian Galysh's third CD. But the California dude, thank goodness, loads this thing with enough musical diversity to silence players with half his talent.
Instead of more tracks like "Interstellar Café," this guy gives listeners a dark sense of foreboding in the misleadingly titled "True Happiness," a good-time hoedown (complete with barnyard-animal noises) in "Defiance, Ohio" and a crying electric guitar in the piano-based closing ballad "Vocalise." The melodic title track sounds fat and airy, and "Ave Maria No Moro" is a reverent and lovely piece. Hell, Galysh even invited latter-day Supertramp guitarist Carl Verheyen to duet with him on the fast an d furious "Terrestrial Races." These are actual songs, my friends, not just excuses to solo.
For some reason, though, Galysh messes with the track listing – which only runs to 9 on the packaging but is pushed to 13 in your CD player, thanks to four brief and inconsequential "Sound Effect" pieces. They're not needed, and they only detract from an otherwise impressive recording.
New! Classic Rock Revisited CD Review
A review of Earth Tones from www.classicrockrevisited.com:
"Adrian Galysh is a West Coast guitar player who is making a name for himself in 'guitar god' circles, mostly for his tasteful, melodic instrumental songwriting style. He mixes it up between rock and jazz but the colors seem to blend more than separate. Galysh is a gifted soloist who has no problem using the guitar to express emotions and feelings generally associated with a vocalist.
His bag contains many tricks and he pulls them out when needed. He can be flashy, groovy and powerful all within the same track. Other times he can lay back and have the coolness of Jeff Beck as seen in the track "Planetary Cycles." On "Earth Tones" the guitar player shows off his passion while "Terrestrial Races" sees Galysh go for broke and play his ass off. "Defiance, Ohio" is a tongue-in-cheek title that features fast riffs that set the stage for Adrian to have some fun showing off his guitar heroics. The most interesting tune on the album is Galysh's take on the classic Rachmaninoff song "Vocalise." Adrian proves he is a multi-faceted player by dancing between a soulful, melodic tone and all out in-your-face rock solos, all the while staying classy with his musical voice.
Joining Galysh on the album are Marco Mendoza (Ted Nugent and Thin Lizzy) and Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot) ensuring the album keeps it's rock groove throughout. Take my advice, take a chance on a guitar player you may not have heard of and buy this CD. Galysh puts his own unique spin on the instrumental electric guitar genre that features enough rocking guitar and different styles to keep everyone happy."
