3 stars Michael Orlando is a New York based guitar player, and Sonic Stomp is his self produced and self released debut CD.

As usual when it comes to guitar records, the aim here is to showcase Orlando's skills as a guitar player. What sets Orlando apart from others in this genre, is that he has laid down good work in the musical backdrop here - the songs aren't just backdrops with the sole purpose of being platforms for soloing and shredding, but actually come across as well thought out and planned melodies.

Too much shredding and songs with a great variety in quality ultimately makes this a so-so release for the average music fan. Fans of guitar records and/or fans of purely technical musical abilities should have this one high up on their purchase lists though.
