JOOP WOLTERS ‘Speed, Traffic And Guitar Accidents’ Lion Music LMC113(2004)
Multi-instrumentalist Wolters has played with various projects, and this is
his second solo album, an instrumental set where he undertakes guitars, bass
and most of the keyboards and drum programming.
Itıs a good modern set with some great tunes and some blistering guitar
solos.
The pace moves from fast to slow and back again, with influences in places
of Rush and Gary Moore. In that sense he does get his guitar to talk, but
some of the tracks may sound too technical to flow easily. And 17
instrumentals in a row do need vocals or a more progressive arrangements to
break it up. That said, itıs largely very enjoyable and this guy deserves
checking out.
