Cyril Achard

Confusion is French guitarist Cyril Achard's all instrumental, debut solo album originally recorded in 1996, now rereleased with three exclusive bonus tracks ("Suspicious Mind", "Celebration" and "Big Deal"). Achard's playing throughout the CD is brilliant, as he weaves his highly developed chops over progressive material, supported by drummer Laurent Piacentino and bassist Fred Schneider. Interestingly, the success of this album led to a contact with Godin (guitars) and Peavey (amps).

The track "Pharaon" from Confusion was included on the progressive rock compilation album "Vae Victis" (Musea). A must have CD, along with his new 2002 Taboo Voodoo CD, "Something's Cookin".

Cyril Acard CDs are available from CD Baby, PayPlay, iTunes, Buy.com, Tower Records, Rhapsody and other major music retailers.
