Tim Scott - Guitar Mashing (Acer Records 2008)
Star Rating: 4/5
Although the phrase ‘painting with sound’ may come across as trite and unnecessarily pompous, in the UK guitarist Tim Scott’s case, it’s perfectly accurate. The interesting arrangements and tones that Scott has used here give the oft-tired guitar instrumental album formula a real shot in the arm, making sure that this album comes very highly recommended.

"Tim Scott breaks boundaries by mashing his guitar mastery (think Vai and Satriani) with chilled Ibiza sounds."

Tim Scott - Guitar Mashing (Acer Records 2008)
Star Rating: 3/5
‘Guitars’ and ‘pumping house’ aren’t terms that usually go hand in hand but on this, his second album, guitarist/session player/producer/tutor Tim Scott breaks boundaries by mashing his guitar mastery (think Vai and Satriani) with chilled Ibiza sounds. Perfect tonic for the winter blues.

"Guitar Mashing" Official Press Release 2009
Guitar Mashing is an exceptionally new and yet imaginatively different album that I’m sure you'll truly love and be totally energized by.
The driving inspiration behind Guitar Mashing was to create a stunning collection of catchy yet distinctive guitar tunes that emanate today’s all important "X" Factor instantly craving mass appeal.
With phat bass lines and kicking drums all skilfully mixed together with Latin percussion and fabulously topped off with ultra spacious production, this is a sure fire hit.
"There has not been an album that could potentially be as big as this since Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells. In short the cross over potential for Guitar Mashing is immense."
Guitar Mashing features the now synonymous “Ibiza’s Secret Garden” which by all accounts is an outstanding track and subsequently formed the basis for (as they share the same guitar melody) Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules latest collaboration with Scott entitled “City Rockers (Marcus Twiddle Edit)” for his new artist album Bring The Noise.
Guitar Mashing also features a stunning super postmodern version of J.S. Bach’s classic, “Prelude in C” which would be as at home on The Late Junction on Radio 3 as it would be supporting the Premiership highlights on ITV.
To top off this world beating project Guitar Mashing has been mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road Studios.
(Geoff’s CV includes: Coldplay, Kylie, Basement Jaxx, The Arctic Monkeys, The Spice Girls Plus many more...)
Last but not least it sounds better loud so turn it up!
