When I first heard this 20-odd years ago, I was under the impression that it was an electric violin.

Very nice and slightly cheesey all at the same time. And I've got to give points to anyone who uses a cat on their album cover. So I think I'll give it a 7.

This is the first time I've heard this. As a fiddler myself, I like it.

I wish I could 'improvise' like that!

Sounds like he is practicing for a Pink Floyd performance or something.

The picture looks like a Zeta, which is what I thought he played. They make a JLP Signature -- I hope that's what he plays! :) Jazz Zetas characteristically have that smooth hummy, yummy sound.

Thanks. I just Googled their web site. Interesting.

I understand that JLP uses a normal violin with audio pick-up which is then tweaked. But I'm no expert. I just know a 9 when I hear it!

If you don't have it, you should check out the Blade Runner soundtrack. It is Vangelis and the entire CD is comprised of beautiful, beautiful music.

Great snippets of dialog too . . . "Do you like our owl?" . . . and the death speech by the last replicant . . . "lost like tears in rain."
