| LIGRO's international debut album DICTIONARY 2 available on MOONJUNE RECORDS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUmDzBGQVk&feature=youtu.be Imagine a band capable of fusing aspects of Jimi Hendrix, Robert Fripp, Buckethead, vintage Terje Rypdal and classic John McLaughlin. Picture such a band erupting from Indonesia and blessing the entire globe with their original stylings. You have Ligro, a power trio destined for international greatness. - MATT HOWARTH, SONIC CURIOSITY Hamzah channels his inner Fripp ... the band reach Mahavishnu intensity levels ... torrents of blazing notes over an acrobatic rhythm section... jazz-rock / fusion / prog that lives on the edge ...- PETE PARDO, SEA OF TRANQUILITY It's a surefire winner for anyone who digs on advanced guitar wielding, the fused arts, and a hot trio going at it with music that rises above the repetition of accepted formulas to make something very much new out of it all. - GREG EDWARDS, GAPPLEGATE GUITAR & BASS BLOG ... a sizzling prog power trio loaded to the eyeballs with chops and fire. Agam Hamzah plays guitar like a cross between Alan Holdsworth, Gary Boyle, James Ulmer, even a bit of Sonny Sharrock, and, hell, his damped Bach intro to Stravinsky sounds like Dave Stewart playing keyboards from the old hallowed Egg.... a sophisticated exploration of rock, jazz, and fusion morphing back and forth at will. - MARK TUCKER, FAME ... dancing round the beat are the almost lyrical drums and percussion of Gusti Hendi, who must surely be a Tony Williams fan. While no one member is the star of the show, Agam's cliché-free guitar excursions which light up each song in sometimes obvious but usually unexpected flights of fancy are a pure delight. - ROGER TRENWITH, DPRP Brilliant! Birds On Fire! 5 stars. - KONRAD NIEMIEC, PROGROCK POLAND |
