Album of Last Friday

Live Encounter, by The Trey Gunn Band (2001): Trey Gunn is best known as Warr guitarist for King Crimson in their latest recorded formation. He has a fairly lengthy, if not particularly prolific, solo career as well. Live Encounter showcases an augmented version of the Trey Gunn Band from The Joy of Molybdenum (with the addition of a second Warr guitarist) to rip through tunes from that disc and a few others. The music itself is really interesting and features lots of Asian influences (tabla out the wazoo!) in addition to Crimsoid complexity. Excellent stuff, including the two videos on the CD showing the band in action.
