Continental – “What Was Gained From What… ” – [U-Dot Records]

Reliably good, mostly instrumental material from local outfit, friends of KFJC. Simple, intertwining guitar lines, solid chord structures, and nice build-ups. Snare drum up front in the mix. Track 7 is a bit different with its pianos and drones and looser drumming. A smidgen of vocals on Track 2, otherwise all instrumental. If you like dynamic electric guitar based music, you won’t go wrong with this band and this CD. Dedicated to Continental bassist Brent Kimble who recently passed away.
