This is an idealistic album. It is an album created by the electric guitar, for the electric guitar, the greatest invention of the twentieth century.

I’ve been thinking for a long time that someone should make something like this, because the true savage sound and the rough-hewn beats made from this instrument can no longer be found.

Though the times are a-changin’, the spirit of the wild shall never fade away.

So man, don’t forget to boogie!
