Album release date:
29 October 2018

An aggressive, wailing guitar sound--astonishing and extremely individual--that one has never heard before. Grigory Valov, TIF, Arkhangel'sk, Russia
He invented a new technique of playing while continuously changing the pitch of his electric guitar. Svetlana Korel'skaya, ARKHANGEL'SK, Arkhangel'sk, Russia
Solo guitarist John Bruce Wallace, in free improvisation, revamped the modern guitar tradition and, using the technical possibilities of his instrument, transferred it into an individual sound language. Bernd Jahnke Jazz Podium No. 1, Stuttgart, Germany
His sizzling electric distortion...thick and saturated tone captures a kind of steel industrial sound, gently relating to the development of the urban situation, and technological society on which he comments, and to the worldly issues faced by modern development. Wallace's music comes out like a giant question with no apparent answer...tapping the human interior's post pro-harmonic feedback” LaDonna Smith, the improvisor, Birmingham, AL
[H]is playing is a lot less predictable than that of many guitar warriors, and the best of it has a savage beauty that Eddie Van Halen couldn't achieve with six months of overdubs. Mark Jenkins, WASHINGTON CITY PAPER, Washington, DC
fantastic atmosphere,,,,,,,cool. Radio (Kljajić Radoslav) And Friends, SoundCloud comment, Čakovec, Croatia
If such is possible, he has extended the boundaries of improvisation and presentation, breaking new ground for younger and inquisitive musicians. Five enthusiastic stars! Bruce Smith, Facebook comments, Sanford, Maine
