5.0 out of 5 stars Profound Music from a Guitar Genius!, July 15, 1999

I first heard this when just released on LP, back in the early 1980's, and the aural impact is just as great today! There are subtle differences between the ECM CD (note the added distorted bass guitar that enters half way through track 1 on the CD - a great effect - and the mix for track 4 is very different on the CD, much less "country-ish"). Though Tibbetts' music has become more sophisticated - and louder! - on recent CD's, all of the seeds for greatness are exhibited on this indispensable disc. This is truly great stuff!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars SHREDS- YR WILL FORCE YOUR THIRD EYE OPEN !, November 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Yr (Audio CD)

This Album is Awesome! Tibbetts is a musical shape shifter-His music can go straight to the unconscious and evoke the most primal pre-verbal feelings. I had an eerie sense of Deja'vu the first time I heard his music. On YR as on other album's he proves to be doing things that no one else is; A rarity these days! Not since Jimi Hendrix has someone experimented with feedback with such raging fervor. While other's imitate, Tibbetts is a wizard of creation. Like the rare species of folklore and legend that are so difficult to catch a glimpse of, or seeing a comet blaze by that comes close to the Earth only once in million years...Get the point?

5.0 out of 5 stars the ultimate psychedelic guitar album, August 18, 1998

Melt "Axis: Bold As Love", "Tubular Bells" and "Houses of the Holy" together on the banks of the Ganges and you'll have some approximation of what this masterpiece sounds like. Recorded on an 8-track in his home studio in 1980, Steve Tibbetts' second album features densely layered electric and acoustic guitars interwoven with the amazing percussion of Marc Anderson. If you are a fan of any of the albums mentioned in the first sentence, by all means pick up this album.
