Revelator might be identified as a "guitar-based" recording, but the range of sound explored here by Skopelitis and Bjorkenheim is so unrestricted, inventive and all-encompassing as to make the term almost archaic. Darkly hypnotic drones, African guitar styles, controlled feedback and harmonics, Indian sitar sounds and countless other strange-beautiful sources coalesce in an atmosphere that is by turns majestic and mystical, celebratory and brooding. Although they both claim the guitar as their instrument of choice, Nicky Skopelitis and Raoul Bjorkenheim probably couldn"t come from more radically different backgrounds. But one essential trait they do share is an inexhaustible thirst for new directions and new sensibilities in music, and with Revelator - a collaboration that, true to its title, attempts to reveal the unexpected as it also explores a slightly spiritual edge - the guitar becomes a vehicle for two distinct voices. From there, the quest for a third voice begins: Where creative forces meet to offer up a glimpse of one possible musical future.
