Atanas Shishkov - Intuition (EP) (2006)A.G.S. Records

Atanas Shishkov (guitar) recorded his next stuff along with Todor Peev (guitar, bass guitar, drum programming; Blue2You) with whom he founded Spiraless. In a sense, this EP can be considered a herald of Spiraless' music. First of all, I must write that it is jazz/fusion material with many more improvised parts and tricks on the guitar neck in comparison to his solo debut. In contrast to Atanas' first two solo releases, this one is focused on distinct pulsating bass guitar, spectacular experiments, instrumental shows and demonstration of technical skills without the loss of great guitarwork. "Intuition" is not only the manifestation of guitar proficiency, but also the best produced release in Atanas' solos career. It also shows that Atanas Shishkov is a versatile guitar player with broad-minded attitude and tolerance to different styles and subgenres. I can willingly recommend this EP to the fans of Frank Gambale, Allan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson and Kosta Vreto.
