There was a time when guitar wasn't king. But that time is gone forever, thanks to Rock 'N' Roll and bands like Fourth Estate. Fourth Estate has created a progressive, guitar-based music that fuses red hot riffs, deep, rumbling rhythms and exploratory compositions that challenge the ear and boil the blood. On their last release, See What I See, the music goes beyond the usual flash guitar work of most of their contemporaries and takes rock into another world - literally. Listen to "Kara Kum," a three-part electric suite, and find out where Western guitar sounds meet Bulgarian folk melodies and rhythms. "Crazy Ivan" is a heady musical journey across a broad, brawny soundscape that may as well be the endless expanse of the Russian steppes. Not to ignore influences at home, of course, "The Hammer Song" turns blues-rock adrenaline into a rollicking blast of guitar assault pandemonium. But Fourth Estate not only creates innovative music, they are also masters of innovative instruments. On See What I See, witness Beegle's expert use of the Transperformance Automatic Tuning Guitar, employing the futuristic Digital Tuning System that creates a whole new universe of tunings with just the touch of a finger. Other guitarists like Jimmy Page, Joe Perry and Pat Metheny also play this groundbreaking instrument, but none of them have turned it into an album full of music like this.
