Guitar Planet

Belgian guitarist Philippe Thibaut returns with his third album, Guitar Planet, this time recorded under the project name Theebo. The CD features twelve rock and hard rock instrumentals and three vocal cuts (a cover of Jimi Hendrix' "Crosstown Traffic", and two originals). Guitar Planet also features blazing instrumental covers of Hendrix' "Purple Haze" and Extreme's "Cupid's Dead". Thibaut is at the top of his game here, incredible wah-wah workouts give way to terrific single note bursts, while heavy riffage is augmented by harmonized lines - even his 'underwater' guitar sound (heard on his CD "Outside Limit") makes another appearance. Thibaut fans will delight in this new collection of tunes, while those yet unfamiliar with his guitar work will need to pay attention.
