NOTES IN THE MARGIN

US composer and multi-instrumentalist Dave KULJU started his solo career back in 2007 when he released "Abstract Expression". Since then he's been crafting more music whenever time allows him to, and in the summer of 2010 he had an album's worth of finished material which became his second solo production, issued as "Notes in the Margin".

"Notes in the Margin" is a partially instrumental album that explores a sound that ranges from hard prog akin to Rush on the one hand to space and symphonic-tinged themes that share some characteristics with late 70's Pink Floyd. Those who enjoy both these acts might well find Dave Kulju to be an artist worthwhile exploring, and I suspect that this album might also appeal to some of the people who tend to like neo-progressive rock. Overall, this is a good-quality production from start to finish, and one that should have a much broader appeal than most solo efforts crafted by a guitarist going solo.
