‘Self-Education’ is the second solo instrumental album by multi-instrumentalist Theo van Niel Jr. The extraordinary ‘Introduction’ makes me curious about ‘Anxiety Express’. In this up-tempo track, blackjazz plays saxophonist J\u00f8rgen Munkeby. This forms a beautiful combination\/alternation between the rock\/metal. The atmosphere in ‘Sierra’ is very different, more summery. Again, there are unexpected twists and details. Theo’s very varied guitar playing forms the main part, regularly you hear several layers at once. Sometimes even slow and fast “mixed together”, but the balance remains. The sound is well spread over the headphones. In addition, the contrast between high and low tones is well audible. This comes out especially well in ‘On The Clock’. The songs doesn’t only contain detailed drumming (by Shane Gaalaas), bass and, of course, a nice amount of guitar. But several songs have enjoyable sounds\/sampled elements. Like the sampled Glockenspiel at the start of ‘Ave Maria’. Most of the synth parts are programmed. ‘Self-Education’ is a beautifully complex album with a lot of diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
