Mike Fillius--Mike Fillius (2001/Mike Fillius) Rating--7.9

---

An indie instrumental guitarist from New York City, Fillius brings to mind artists such as Satriani and Blues Saraceno, but flashes a raw and heavier edge in some places. Some thicker Goey Hoey is brought to mind as well. A very professionally done release.
"Halls to Hell" is a strong track, and "Down to Dirt" is good as well, with some distorted vocals mixed in.
"Trespassing" is a heavy piece, "Bad Wiring" has a carefree feel, and both "Pipeli" and "Spillway Jam" are good.
