CD Review - Leap Of Face
Australian Guitar Magazine Issue #55:
GRAHAM GREENE
Leap Of Face
Independent
THE Satriani of the South, Perth guitarist Graham Greene defied the odds (namely a shoulder injury and nerve damage in his hand) to put together this brilliant album, all instrumental bar 'Fire In Your Liberty', which features his wife Donna on vocals. As for the rest, Greene plays every instrument. Mixing soaring melodic '80s-style lead with frenzied tapping, neo-classical displays of fret-wizardry ("Hell And Bach"), stabbing harmonics and talk box ("Vowels Of The Earth"). Greene travels with flair and grace through a variety of styles, from 'ballads' to metal and blues ("CJ's Blues"), and comes out the other side a certified rock god. Look out for a Leap Of Face DVD early in 2007.
