Jan Reimer - The Point Of No Return (1985)

"Jan Reimer is without doubt a master of abduction into the realm of senses. His sound magic on the guitar lets the listener discover his long lost imagination." (Berlin Tagesspiegel)

In his solo concerts, Jan Reimer didn't simply reproduce that which is forever pressed on record. With the ovation guitar and his "Experimental Guitar Percussion" as well as manifold special evvects, he also created a variety of sounds and strains. Suddenly a pleasing melody grates against an oblique chord, the sound turns all of a sudden classical, then again to folk from far away always, however, there is this melody which is simply beautiful.

His second album was called "The Point of no Return". Whereas on its predecessor Reimer had strictly limited himself to the Ovation Guitar, this production is opening up a new world of sound introducing "Experimantal Guitar Percussion" (EGP). Basically EGP is a Contreras Guitar with inbuild microphones that is used as if it were a percussion instrument.

Listen carefully, because it´s a very unique album, with amazing sound landscapes !
