about

Binky Boy explodes electric guitar conventions, covering ground from Greek folk music, to radical sound constructions, improvisation, and intricate composition for guitar quartet. Founder and composer of the avant-rock band Doctor Nerve, Nick Didkovsky invites guests Fred Frith, René Lussier, Mark Stewart, and Mark Howell to reshape and redefine the possibilities of the electric guitar on this all-electric guitar CD.

BONUS TRACKS! "Flykiller", a freaky prepared guitar tune that was originally released on Nick's first vinyl release "Now I Do This"

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
