“I wish I could play guitar with the virtuosity that Joy Basu displays on his songs. I also enjoy that electric guitar and rock guitar is being take to new places because of players like Joy Basu. He takes Electronic music and dance music and melds it with awesome rock guitar playing. The only other guitar player I hear doing that sort of thing these days is Jeff Beck.

I can't really comment on the guitar playing because its beyond my comprehension at this point. Like I said before, I kind of wish I could play like that.”

“Pretty impressive! Tracks 4 and 5 werent really to my musical preferences but listening to them I could appreciate the talent involved in it. A facet of music I think I might have try and venture into a bit. Sweat was more of my musical listening preference. Good driving rythym with some great guitar playing over top. Id like to hear the rest of that tune if possible.”

Joy Basu is all of these! Listen to ‘Sweat’ (it makes me sweat just listening to it), go to his website and listen to ‘Cyborg’ for twisted animal guitars, dowload ‘2nd Soul -remix’ for atmospheric electro soul. Joy is no run of the mill guitarist, very experimental and different. This guitarman is ‘Hot’ and I'm not surprised that he is in demand for some big gigs. I expect to be hearing a lot more from this very modern guitarman!”
