Hard to believe...

"This is a LIVE PERFORMANCE. This album was recorded during a concert directly from the guitars. No voice miking -so there's not audience applause- and most important: NO STUDIO MIXING. They sound on the record as they did at the gig.
A real masterpiece from those kind of guitarist one expect to see live at least once in his life."

The Surfaris Meets Bach...

"...or some such thing.I lack the energy to research these guys, but the CGT makes for some entertaining listening.This is basically three guys, playing only guitars. The eclectic collection of pieces on this disc range from the Surfaris "Walk, Don't Run" to Bach's Prelude in C Minor.Most odd. Yet oddly compelling. There is something magic about classical attention being paid to an old surf standby.Hard to explain, fun to listen to."

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

"These three guitarist are fantastic artist. The songs are simply beautiful. You don't have to be a guitar enthusiast to love this CD, just a music lover. However if you play the guitar you NEED this CD to know what is possible. This will inpsire you like no other band will."
