ALBUM OF THE MONTH
ANDREW SYNOWIEC
FUN
(House Of Sin Records) 9/10
Session guitarist Andrew Synowiec, fresh from a collaborative album with drum legend John Robinson Jr (Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Stevie Nicks, David Foster etc), shows he can really rock on his instrumental album, Fun. Opener is Lead Foot, an uptempo boogie that dips into Carlton/Lukather terrain with blazing lines, killer vibrato and a warm lead tone. The twisted rhythms of Salvation Mountain sets up a great foundation for his melodic lines and harmonised phrases. The triplet groove of Late To The Party is part of the terrain for 70s/80s LA instrumentals,
