Colin Reid burst upon the scene with his 1998 debut album of solo guitar music and was acclaimed as the new guitar hero. Colin Harper"s review on MOJO: "this set triumphs in its technicolor daring, where the guitar is an engine beneath the arrangements that drives forward the notion of quirky yet often moving compositions for small group and strings, from precisely where the Penguin Cafe Orch. left off." The album works wonderfully as a kind of radio programme, moving from solo guitar to funky string quartet with guitar, and on to vocals by Eddi Reader & Boo Hewerdine.
