More of Marc Ribot? Most definitely.

Listening to the album again, there's a heavy Frith and Otomo Yoshihide influence on there too.

You've mentioned some guitarists with mad technical skills including Frith and even McLaughlin. I suppose Eugene Chadbourne is someone in there, too. Let's just take one that we agreed upon: Derek Bailey. This isn't a dis because, hey, I'm comparing you to Derek Bailey, but Bailey was working from a framework of virtuosity and then scaled it back in order to showcase his ideas above his playing. Although your music doesn't feel forced (you know how much I like it) you strike me much more as a musician with a No New York post punk (now many posts later) ethic who's unsatisfied with any sort of limitations. Is it correct to say that your fans can expect change as you continue to grow as a guitarist? And if so, how important is individuality? Also, should we expect your solo work to stay in the realm of the atonal?
