Default Sun Caged - The Lotus Effect

I'v been spinning this disc alot lately. It fucking rules. I dont know why these guys dont get more love.

I cant find the first track on youtube, but its really a stand out for me. Sounds like hes using an 8 string on it too(the first song atleast).

I've always liked Sun Caged, Marcel Coenen is an amazing guitarist, definitely one of the best I've heard in terms of technique and phrasing.

I used to really love them (flew to Holland to see them once), but I'm not so keen on the latest line-up. I'll have to pick this up, though. Always choc-full of great playing.

Incidentally, Marcel gets the best Marshall tone I've ever heard, I think.

I love (I think) their first two - I didn't know there was a new one.

This'll be the last CD with the JMP1, he got a Laney endorsement and sold that rig.

Sounds cool, seems very old-Dream Theater-esque, but with a modern metal twist and I like it
