[kj] (OT) guitarists...

[Leigh Newton]

Just discovered Michael Brook last week, actually. His Hybrid CD is pretty cool. Some really cool ambient textures. You don't often hear that kind of stuff coming from a guitar.

 love 'continental' by Guthrie, and the Harold Budd collaborations are class! :D
i am also a fripp fanatic, probably like 85% of their albums, and the Belew partnership was great..Belew excels on Remain in light by the talking heads, too!!!
I am partial to Michael Brook as well..I like all these fellers as the make a guitar sound, well, not like a guitar :)

First album more ambient, and the two followups more "accessible".  Surprised no tracks were ever grabbed for a car commercial.
