Steve Tibbetts 1977

Recorded in 1976 at Macalester College, Steve Tibbetts's first album ( first released independently in 1977 on his own label ) is interesting mostly as a harbinger of greatness to come. It consists mostly of multi-tracked acoustic guitars, overdubbed with pitch-shifted bells and water sounds, and the occasional mid-70's synthesizer. Notable mostly for two things: the guitar solo at the end of "Interlude" proves that Tibbetts was experimenting with two-handed guitar tapping years before anyone had ever heard.
