I respectfully put forth my new release, Anjar for your consideration.
Imagine if Robert Fripp had grown up in the middle-east instead of England, or the Mahavishnu Orchestra had explored arabic music instead Indian music. Perhaps the results might have sounded like this.
This is music that crosses genres and defies categories; music that fuses the power of rock with the delicacy of classical music and the exotic melodies and rythms of the Sahara. Charkes Van De Kree at aural-innovations writes:
"Martin Webb inhabits that gray zone between progressive rock, jazz fusion and world music that only a brave few (Steve Tibbetts, Terje Rypdal and Mark Isham, for instance) have heretofore ventured into. And like these few who've come before him, Webb works with a sound palette that's both eclectic and esoteric, utilizing middle eastern scales, syncopation, tribal drumming, fusion-fueled guitar pyrotechnics and a melodic sense often "outside" the boundaries of conventional rock. Musically, Anjar is an unqualified success, and the stellar production job is just more icing on the cake for stereophiles." www.aural-innovations.com/issues/issue43/martinwebb.html
Anjar is available as a digital download at bandcamp, cdbaby, amazon.com, emusic, rhapsody, and iTunes.

The notes are just an interesting way to get from one silence to the next - Mick Gooderick |

Looks like a case for the Eclectic Team to investigate, I'll notify them.

Distant relative, perhaps? Very nice stuff.
