Atanas Shishkov - The Long Road (2005)A.G.S. Records

The second solo album by aforementioned Bulgarian guitarist was recorded by a duo - Atanas Shishkov (6-string acoustic guitar) and Boris Kadiev (12-string acoustic guitar). The debut release included melodic fusion music grounded on electric guitar parts, however its successor is entirely acoustic without any additional instruments and effects. One guitar is responsible for making the background and accompaniment, another one produces melodic lines and usually solos parts. If you deal with such an absolute command of guitar and total finger dexterity, you can call it pure virtuosity. Upon listening to their playing, I have an impression of rain drops flowing down into my ears and delivering delicate and romantic tones. They represent natural acoustic twin guitar style with country, funk and Spanish music influences meant for relaxation, so their offer should appeal to the fans of Strunz & Farah and California Guitar Trio. If you would like to become downshifters in contemporary fast world, this item will be a perfect solution for your metamorphosis.
