Martin Motnik - Bass Invader

Martin Motnik first solo CD "Bass Invader" shows the flexibility of the
bass guitar in an incredible way. 14 tracks, in many different styles,
range from smooth fretless ballads over funky slapping songs to
acoustic bass pieces or high-speed distorted picking attacks, making
you believe that this must be a regular guitar ñ which it isnít.

His complex bass arrangements fill out every frequency range and
deliver many details, without losing focus on intuitive songs and
without overstraining the listenerís attention. The songs on ìBass
Invaderî are real melodies, not just solos in a row.

Knowing that a bass is worth half without drums, Martin was joined by
one of the hottest rock drummers to deliver the beat on ìBass Invaderî:
drummer legend Gregg Bissonette! Together, these two produce powerful
grooves, building the foundation for the catchy tunes.

Wanting to give the regular guitar fan something, too, Martin invited
Swedish guitarist extraordinaire Mattias IA Eklundh for a guest
appearance. Besides spicing up the opener ìBee on speedî with an
Eklundh-typical zany chorus melody, the trio Eklundh/Motnik/Bissonette
also creates a new version of Rushís classic tune ìYYZî, giving all
three of them the opportunity to show off their outstanding abilities.
