The best of the best of RedEyeC - musicians have raved over the passionate shredding and crying of Bob Forbes' guitar work:

On Firebird:

Forgive me if I rave on here...but this track has really won me over. I've played it about four times before starting on the review trying to absorb all that I can. This is a superbly crafted piece of music that is just perfect for its subject matter. You can picture exactly what the artist describes. It starts with background synths and a harmony bass/vibe run, before some excellent guitar lines come in. The motif then recurs with percussion and some swirling synths in the background before a wonderful organ sound joins in. Then an electric guitar plays variations on the main motif before it's joined by a brother guitar harmonizing. Then comes some flaying guitar lines, more organ......Wonderfully textured piece of music. Congrats RedeyeC. One of the best Progressive pieces I've come across.

Highly recommended

On Chambers of Medusa:

Right off the bat this track grabs the listener, a stomping jaunt into the unknown, the guitar is on FIRE!!!
A surging of power pushes the track from within, this is hard to create but you nailed it, and those bursts of heat from that awesome guitar sound and playing are sheer bliss, there's a rippling layer of electricity in this track, it's like I can't think of a genre for it - maybe ambient power, startling work. This should be in the next James Bond film, elegent and dangerous - WOW!!

All the best to you, THUMBSUP!!!

Great creativity and accuracy, not to mention superb polished production.

On Velvet Impressions:

well bob... this is more than lovely... i hear immediately that pascal's music inspires you as much as it does me... everything just comes out special with syngularity... was that tapping i heard... or you just have very long fingers... but that second segment... what melody... man you know your harmony bro...
you left the simple scales, blues and major, behind a long time ago... you must be somewhat like valkir and me... a holdworth fan you see... someone who shows an affinity for the master of harmony... gotta hear this again my friend...it's all just brilliant but that bit at 2:10 is profoundly deep... the simplest part technically but so rich musically... i think it's when you articulate those brief changes to the four minor in the middle of that I-IV-IVm major progression that's so beautiful and deep... yo... dawg... you is awesome... thanks for the DL man...

On Chariots of Judea:

I have to say I think this is one of your best Bob!! You've put a lot of thought into the melodies and keys and I love the whole structure of this. The bits that really stand out for me are the Malmsteen-like run around 2:15 after the break, the note at 2:34 and the awesome piece at 3:09 - speed with melody! 4xYes Paul

On Beyond Andromeda:

BEYOND ANDROMEDA...appropriately named!! That dark grinding bass groove is a spooky launchpad for the pyrotechnical guitar. The riffs in the last half are part lightning, part laser! Well mastered by Pascal..big pro sound for a tune that has Cosmic Soul. Nice work guys!!

Catchy rhythmical line and solid bass for another amazing performance, Bob.
Really liked the experimental flavour and the global mood full of energy.
Beautiful sounds and interesting chord choices too.
Your solos are magnificent, very well performed!
And I liked the guitar sounding, fresh and present in my headphones. Production top notch as always from Pascal.
A beautiful journey to the outer Space! Congrats!
