Variety Of Live - from 2015 - is Samuel Hällkvist's (Isildurs Bane) 5th as band leader.
A vibrant blend of live band recordings and studio overdubs, the album combines eerie wordless vocals, sizzling electronica, waves of surf guitar, driving beats and a sense of restless experimentation that incorporates (and moves beyond the boundaries of) Rock, Jazz, Prog, Fusion and Minimalist influences.
The band includes Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson) on drums and Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd) on bass.
Richard Barbieri guests and writes two of the pieces, while Sid Smith provides sleeve notes.
“Samuel Hällkvist is a unique guitarist. His use of sound and choice of notes puts him in a class of his own.” - Phil Manzanera
