For those not in the know, Markus Reuter is a German composer who has earned critical acclaim throughout Europe and America for his work as a composer, guitar player, guitar designer, sound designer, producer and teacher.

Well, the über-innovative guitar maestro Reuter seizes the reigns on this just-released, and groundbreaking trio effort Truce that also features both Fabio Trentini and Asaf Sirkis.

MoonJune Records’ historic 100th release features a full frontal aural assault from the trio in as much as Truce brings forth some prominent, and textural wizardry and melodic flair, but most strikingly some rather bone-crushing touch guitar playing.

1. 'The Truce'
2. 'Swoonage'
3. 'Bogeyman'
4. 'Be Still My Brazen Heart'
5. 'Power Series'
6. 'Let Me Touch Your Batman'
7. 'Gossamer Things'

Ably supported by the fiery, inspired rhythms of the aforementioned ace veteran timekeeper Asaf Sirkis, and renowned Italian bass phenomenon and producer Fabio Trentini, the trio ventures through a melange of exotic sonic fare which pushes the boundaries of the traditional power trio well beyond established norms.

The album opens with the funky bass lines and drum tracking of the title track 'The Truce,' before bringing us the magnificently ethereal 'Swoonage.'

Next up is the fuzzy guitar and key work of the foot-tappin' 'Bogeyman' which in turn is followed by the achingly introspective 'Be Still My Brazen Heart.'

Next up is the drum-led sonic experience 'Power Series,' which is backed by the mysteriously entitled musical wonderment that makes up 'Let Me Touch Your Batman,' with this rather captivating new album rounding out with my own personal favorite, the free flowing beauty of 'Gossamer Things.'
