The Blanco Project - Nightfall - Guitar-driven instrumental album influenced by classic progs like Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp and Tangerine Dream . Nightfall is non-shred melodic rock with jazz and soundtrack elements with both tension and release. No three minute jingles, just music.
Compact Disc
Guitar driven instrumental Rock CD with epic orchestral overtones and electronic textures.
Instrumental guitar- based prog-rock with occasional keyboards. Not virtuoso shred-metal but melodious and occasionally experimental. Slight electronic and jazz touches.
Orlando Blanco has put together a sea of musical textures with his "The Blanco Project" 7 piece CD. This instrumental collection combines subtle guitar lines along soundtrack beds and nearly experimental chord progressions. The result is a compelling relaxing drink of aural delights that will be at home in your headphone buzz, massage table, independent movie soundtrack, or any number of other intelligent places to pass the time. We are reminded of Tangerine Dream (but less continuous), Pink Floyd (without the lyrics or blues riffs), and progressive jazz. Great quality and artistic direction.
