Chris Forsyth/Garcia Peoples – Peoples Motel Band (Algorithm Free)

Chris Forsyth has made some of my favourite guitar-led albums of the past decade, and teaming up with Garcia Peoples for a live recording was stroke of genius. With GP indebted to the sprawling jams of The Grateful Dead, they were the perfect backing for Forsyth’s epic guitar solos. The highlight has to be the 20-minute version of ‘Dreaming In The Non-Dream’, but the whole album is just astounding.

This is Chris Forsyth’s first album without his Solar Motel Band for six years, although a few of them do help him out with it. However, being a solo album means that he can concentrate on showing his guitar skills on some great Television-inspired workouts. There are only two vocal tracks, one featuring Rosali Middleman, but the rest just confirms Forsyth to be one of the very best guitarists currently working.
