Hectic Watermelon - The Great American Road Trip, 2006, by request



Discogged here, for what it's worth. 
Mostly or all instrumental heavy electric guitar-based fusion along the lines of the recent Percy Jones albums. The performance is superbly virtuoso level, and consistently original, but the compositions are not as memorable as one would have liked. As usual in these cases you can hear a lot of Steve Vai influence.

A typical track called Subterranean Rapid Transit, note the heavy metal style fuzzy electric guitar (sounds like dropped d tuning too), and the classic proggy diminished chord arpeggios:

      It is fantastic but it is not progressive or jazz rock. If you like the first 2 albums of pearls before swains ...(at least is what comes to my mind. Also a little bit of Tim Hardin). And he has a "curious" life story.
