GUITAR TEXTURES is a beautifully crafted series of guitar movements. Synthesised from a real electric guitar, including ebow, the sounds on this sample pack are a beguiling mixture of the seductive and the experimental, calling to mind the work of artists such as Harold Budd, Robert Fripp and the Cocteau Twins.

Guitar Textures uses the electric guitar as a sound source, but attempts to coax everything out of it other than conventional guitar notes. The ubiquitous E-bow is used in some examples, which gives the collection a somewhat 'Fripp meets Hackett meets Hillage' feel, and other examples are based around arpeggios or slowly strummed chords. Given that this disc once again has no multisamples, this limits its usefulness, since the tempo is different for every note you play. I also felt some of the sounds were very reverb-heavy, which might make them difficult to use except in a very sparse mix. Some nice sounds and effects are to be found, though.
