barishkepic-addiction
now/ex - guitar Powerworld, Jaded Heart, Evidence One and Faro Addiction was, in my case, a long awaited release. I was really glad to have in my hands this "messiah" opus. When the first notes came from my player, I recognized quickly the Barish Kepic's musical touch in his second solo effort Addiction.

This is a combination of technique, feelings and melodies. Here, it's talent and music which speak. It's far away from some boring, annoying albums from what we are used to call "guitar heroes", those musicians who let talk the ego before music. Fortunately, this is not the case for all musicians! This second try follows the orientation started on Sensitive Crush with, this time, an exception. I mean, on Sensitive Crush, it was pure instrumental music. This is not exactly the case on Addiction. For once, Barish Kepic gave us a vocal track : Michael Bormann, as guest singer, performs a JIMI HENDRIX's cover. For the rest, it's pure instrumental with mainly an arabist musical touch. Further more, it's a surprise to hear a short Blues-Jazzy moment on trackBuzzed And Blue Hearted!Through his music and more precisely through Addiction, Barish Kepic still express himself. It's a varied opus which needs some careful listening sessions to get the right "spirit". It's also the legitimate little brother of Sensitive Crush!
