This album is a very pleasant discovery. I initially came across it on a PBS radio station and searched for it until I found it here. Chris Dunnett definitely deserves to be better known. He is a guitar virtuoso who makes the instrument do things that are unique. There is accompaniment, which is excellent, but this doesn't sound at all like a typical "guitar album." The compositions stand on their own as fine music. You'll move to its rhythms and appreciate its feeling. There is an incredible amount of variety and every track is a winner on this CD. It is something you'll want to play again and again, and your friends will surely ask what it is. It is otherwise hard to describe as the music is so varied and inventive, yet it sounds comfortably familiar. The sound quality is outstanding and the recording is beautifully engineered. I hope more people will discover this impressive artist.

I have been a big fan and follower of Chris's work for years and his newst album Higher Glyphics is his best work yet...it combines his talent with the electric guitar abilities and melody not only in the way he plays but also showcases his unique way he composes music.... "El Samuraichi" is a wonderful album but "Higher Glyphics" goes several steps further....you get a real sense of exotic locations and mood while listening to this album...one of my favorite songs is the Cario Boogie....i have heard Chris play live many times and this ablum is like listening to Chris live at one of his concerts....You can't go wrong with this album....
