and if you really want to slow it down, check out the soundtrack work by jonny greenwood, cliff martinez, mica levi.

if you like rush (ie, 'prog') and jazz, check out the interface of the two - early fusion - atlantis by mccoy tyner, gateway by dave holland, and of course bright sized life. and the best modern prog i've heard recently is the album reflections of a floating world by elder.
Great stuff! Thanks!!!!

This thread is interesting, but it's almost like asking, "What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?"

alright, for a complete derail. if you are liking the christian scott et al, check out makaya mccraven for more of the same. for some real ambient noise, anything by tim hecker is good. for slow with vocals and a side of odd (ie, micheal buble after a night of cough syrup and tequila) try the album 'bleu jane' by julien sagot (sorry, gotta get my canadian content in). and if you like that then anything by damien jurado is good if a bit more contempary. and boards of canada hey; dayvan cowboy that video!!!

rob, of the black clothes and greying hair ilk, check out the album 'atomic subsonic' by dubmatix for a ranking canadian selektor. if you want bass that will reverberate so deep into space and time that your neighbours will hate you years before they move next door to you, check out the bug, specifically this thing:

For a harder edge and real virtuosity listen to anything by 'Tribal Tech' from the 90's through the 00's. And for a jazz/rock guitar send up pick up Lee Ritenour's 'Six String Theory' with Slash, Lee, Neal Schon, George Benson, Keb Mo and others. It is a superb album to drive to.
thanks. i spent some well earned friday night me time working my way through your selections. i heard a thing on cbc the other night that i have yet to explore; apparently prince's last guitarist is from toronto and just put out a solo album that is 'fusiony' and very influenced by ********************es brew; donna grantis i think? the few tracks they played on the radio sounded proper.

Quite a surprising album by Donna Grantis, beautiful guitar work ....... some moody ambient jazz...... and then some searing guitar solo work with her dualling Mike McCready, Pearl Jams guitarist. She grew up in Mississauga around the corner from where I lived in the late '80's. Takes Jazz Fusion on a new path.

Duh...Life is a Highway, Rascal Flatts, no contest. Second Place, Free Ride, Edgar Winter. Both with the flat six singing harmony at, oh, about 5,000 RPM.

Jeff Beck is always good, and lately for some reason I have been on a Collective Soul kick.

Beck has been one of my guitar heroes since the '60's Check out his performance at Ronnie Scot's Live in 2007. Brilliant. Collective Soul is a very underrated band who deserve more recognition for the great music they put out in the late 90's early 00's. They are still touring, I saw them at a venue here in Winnipeg a couple of years ago.
