Across the Atlantic from Portugal sails in Upgrade, an all instrumental rock and shred CD by Goncalo Pereira, a very talented and gifted composer. An eclectic musical background and prodigious technical ability allow Pereira to play different styles, ranging from blues to progressive power metal, funk, pop, classical, fusion and rock -- sometimes within the same piece. Voted "Best Portuguese Guitar Player of 1998" by one Portuguese music newspaper, Pereira's compositions are exciting and layered with the pounding drums of Filipe Gonclaves, the bass work of Dick and the agile keyboard solos of Alexandre Dinis. Also, a great album cover shot showing Pereira with six fingers on his left hand -- he plays as if he has seven! Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Shred/Hard Rock), total running time, 63:56 - Goncalo Pereira @ iTunes!
