“ "Fishmoon" is a score 'for the inner-mind' of such intensity that the pictures that are not here long ago remain blurry but transcendent and color snapshots. The only thing flickers is the almost tangible heat. Guitarist Axel Heilhecker worked on projects like Holo Syndrome, Sunya Beat, Phonoroid and collaborated with musicians of Ash Ra Tempel. Fishmoon is his first solo album, although on a few tracks he gets a helping hand from Steve Baltes (Sunya Beat, Ashra), producer/composer Helmut Zerlett and Bertil Mark. Fishmoon is a fully instrumental album, centered around Axel's guitar play, which is accompanied by bass, keyboards and percussion. Many of the rhythms have a rather ethnic and native feel to it, resulting in an atmosphere that can easily be compared to some of Peter Gabriel's world music influenced work. As a matter of fact, tracks like Belle Du Jour could easily have been instrumental versions of tracks by Gabriel. The twangy slide guitar on some of the tracks reminds me of Eric Clapton's work on Roger Water's Pros and Cons of Hitch-Hiking, while at other times the music brings Clapton's soundtrack for The Edge of Darkness to mind. Another guitarist that comes to mind when listening to the Fishmoon album is Mark Knopfler, probably because of the similarity in feel and sound compared to songs like Dire Strait's Ride Across The River in tracks like One Man Tango. For those of you who like bluesy instrumental guitar work and world music influences this might be an album to check out!
