"No Gravity" and SC are the two albums I have been listenning to these two days. I got different moods for these two albums. For me, SC is like the most relaxable entertainment, while No Gravity gives you everything you wanna hear from a guitar instrumental product.
I have to admit, when I first heard somebody said Kiko's No Gravity is better than JP's Animation Suspended, I didn't believe and was quite annoyed by this assertion.
In my mind, JP is like the most sophisticated and composed progressive metal guitar player who presents everything in his Animation Suspended, though sometimes I found it lacks something compared to JP's ability shown in DT's albums. However, Kiko's No Gravity comes up to me, and when I fristly listened to it I thought "Oh, my god..."
If you guys haven't got this album yet, I strongly recommend you to give it a try. The song called "Pau-De-Arara" is insanely organized and cathy with incredible techniques.
I like Angra a lot, but not to the crazy fan level, partly because I don't like their vocal's voice. But Kiko is always in my top list. I just didn't know he can produced an album like that.
You think J.P. is the best progressive instrumental rock/metal guitarist? Well, if you like those guy’s stuff, then you should probably explore the genera quite a bit more, because I’m sure you’re missing out on a lot of players you'd probably grow to like even more.
