By the late '90s, Taku Sugimoto had refined one aspect of the art to a pristine level, one of extreme quietness where silence carried equal weight with music. It may have seemed that the logical limit had been reached on this particular path but, perhaps inevitably, subsequent musicians arrived to push things farther than previously deemed possible. Japanese guitarist Taku Unami was one of the first post-Sugimoto guitarists, and this fine solo album illustrates that there is life, and fascinating music, beyond even the outermost boundaries. Often following the "tradition" of treating his guitar less as a stringed instrument and more as a resonating object, Unami coaxes subtle sounds that hover in space, often for the briefest moment, leaving sonic dents in the surrounding silence. On the first track, virtually none of the sounds are recognizable as having issued from a guitar. Instead, one hears pops, scratches, bangs, and other aural detritus, but carefully organized into a bafflingly cohesive whole. The brief second cut finds Unami fairly close to Bailey territory, scrabbling the strings in a relatively frantic manner with something approaching virtuosic character. It's an approach that shows Unami's awareness of the avant attacks of his colleagues and possibly evinces a conscious reaction away from them, a return to certain techniques widely considered "old school." This is even more apparent in the closing piece for pedal steel guitar, where he begins to sound like a hyper-abstract Bill Frisell, allowing the long ribbons of chords to wash over the listener, albeit interrupted by frequent, sardonic asides. Guitar Solo is a fine exploration of the guitar, required listening for those wondering where things could possibly go after Sugimoto and for free improv fans generally. ~ Brian Olewnick, All Music Guide
