Marty's Jukebox


This is the latest offering from Mr. Friedman- Tokyo Jukebox, it's a cover of Japanese tunes but 100% instrumental & I'm absolutely enjoying it.

Why is that so? Because it's not a medium to prove one's worth, it's all too obvious. Mr. Friedman intended it to be artistic, the reason why he chose ready materials for personal interpretations. There are some of the most melodic guitar manipulations here, some of the heaviest/ most furious (opening track is a scorcher!) & the most orchestrated which requires some patience as the guitars do not always take centre stage. All in all, even if it's unintended or appealing to our subconsious, Mr. Friedman's technicalities would leave us asking why we even try when there are other very capable people out there...

Hi Sub, been interested to get this CD for sometime but isn't it a Japan-only print? May I know where you got it from, thanks!
