Improvision

This formidable power trio of Austrian guitarist Alex Machacek, 5-string electric bassist Matthew Garrison and drummer Jeff Sipe is impossibly intense, dripping with staggering virtuosity and fertile ideas and seething with the kind of raucous improvisational abandon that we haven't seen since the heyday of Tribal Tech. For fans of acknowledged guitar monsters like Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson, the opening track of their new album says it all: "There's A New Sheriff In Town."

Machacek's mind-boggling technique - blazing speed, uncannily fluid lines and daring intervallic leaps - is an obvious place to begin in singing the praises of this exciting new triumverate. But beyond the abundance of soloistic fireworks on 'Improvision' provided by both Alex and Matthew, one of the most gifted and creative bassists on the post-Jaco scene, there is also a remarkable depth to the writing here, which comes across on harmonically sophisticated pieces like the atmospheric ballad "Very Sad," the compelling "Shona," the gentle, darkly alluring "To Whom It May Concern" and the gorgeous "Put Me Back To Sleep."
