Die produktiven Indonesier fackeln nicht lange, wenn es um Standortbestimmung geht. Die Herkunft mag immer noch exotisch auf manche wirken, der Bluesrock des Dreiers überzeugt heuer aber mehr als zuvor. Langer Atem zahlt sich aus und reicht im Fall von „Solid Ground“ gar über Ozeane hinweg.

Die beiden ersten Titel „Solid Ground“ und „One Heavy Night“ gehen als Fingerzeige durch: Das GUGUN POWER TRIO zeigt sich perfekt eingespielt, und Fronter Gugun steht mit seiner kernigen Stimme über allem. Die Band klingt in vielen Passagen eher nach einem Quartett, so dicht fallen ihre Arrangements aus. Wie der Sänger zwischen all den Worten noch Zeit findet, die Löcher derart geschmackvoll mit solistischen Glanzlichtern zuzukleistern, hört man es nicht alle Tage. Trotz „fire, desire“-Reime klingen die neuen Tracks der Combo frischer als noch auf „Far East Blues Experience, worauf auch „Marching Strut“ verweist, welches man Tommy Bolin widmete, doch statt den Seligen plump zu covern, dachte man dessen „Marching Powder“ sowie „Homeward Strut“ weiter.

Die Post geht nach zwischenzeitlichen Leisetretern (das slowe Gitarrenfeuerwerk „Mission“ etwa) auch anderswo ab. „Silent Rider“ stellt alle drei Musiker ins Rampenlicht, und Gugun singt sein Solo mit, wohingegen er im passend betitelten „I'm Juicy“ sexy haucht, ohne die Hose herunterzulassen. Trotz zahlreicher Jam-Passagen wirken GUGUN POWER TRIOdiesmal kompakter und lassen in Sachen Songwriting nichts anbrennen, genauso wie sie weite Landschaften in ihrer Musik beschreiben können, was der fabelhafte Abschluss „Crystal Mountains“ (Killer-Drums!) bezeugt.

FAZIT: „Solid Ground“ hebt seinem Titel zum Trotz ab und ist die bislang stärkste Scheibe des indonesischen Trios. Jammiger Bluesrock mit starker Liedschreibe wird 2011 anderswo kaum so trefflich zelebriert.

With the release of their self-titled album Edinburgh band Symphony Of Gunfire have concreted what many have been saying around the UK for a while, that there is a new force in rock emerging. A reputation for energetic and passion drenched live shows goes before them and with their debut album the quartet show they can carry it into their recordings just as well. Their sound, an instinctive blend of hard rock, melodic shred metal with a splash of thrash here and there, is a driving and creative beast that their name represents perfectly. It majestically caresses and swoops around the ear whilst hitting hard with shotgun effect.

01. No Rats Land
02. Same Mistake
03. Not the Outlaw

05. Iron Wolf

Just like Steve Senes (also reviewed this month) Emanuele Perilli also releases an instrumental guitar album, however on three songs there is some vocals. “Manny” Perilli too wrote, arranged, and produced everything but released his debut not through a label and financed it himself. It is clearly all about the guitar playing for this Italian guitar teacher (who also is a sound engineer and graphic and web artist). The arrangements are put together with the accent on his playing, not too uncommon for an instrumental album, but on some songs the backing music sounds inferior to the guitar playing. Something one can see on many YouTube clips, a tape rolls and the relevant guitar player plays his part. Not so weird as one knows his guitar playing is recorded in the “Badroom studios”, the bedroom of “Manny” (nice wordplay by the way). Also Perilli explores more styles and genres en knows all the techniques, from speed picking, sweeping, legato and tapping until shredding, that is clear.

What should make, and keep, an instrumental album interesting are the melodies and colouring of the songs and that is well done by Manuele Perilli. Whether it is a heavy, funky song like ‘The Noise Of The Bliss’, a sensitive, atmospheric song like ‘Tears That Taste Of You’, a song that is being pushed forward by a disco like up-tempo beat like ‘Across The Universe’ or a heavy rock song like ‘The Truth’ (including speech from JFK), “Manny” gives them the needed, catchy melody, power when needed and colours them with lovely solo’s. ‘An Ivory Moon’, which starts and ends with the sound of crickets, sounds sweet as the summer and reminds of Joe Satriani, but that is more like a compliment. Perilli too dares to play a tropical reggae tune in ‘A Perfect Place’ with vocals by Rudy B. The song sounds like a mix between Santana and The Police and that too is not meant harmful. Strong debut album and - good - stuff for guitar players, or those who appreciate it.
