Larry Carlton on Kid Charlemagne...!
Good choice Axel
Yeah, most of that album is good for juicy, virtuoso guitar solos! The production on all of their releases is top notch as well.

Just released about ten days ago. Has a lighter, more extended (and perhaps less focused) sound than their previous albums; I might need a few more listens to get into the feel of it.

Ian - you have an uncanny knack of finding great music by bands that I have never heard of!

I've really enjoyed discovering the other Riverside material, thanks to your posting - well worth my Tidal subscription this month! Very much influenced by Porcupine Tree, which is high praise, by the way, but The Eye of the Soundscape is much more to my tastes these days.
