Hey guys! You can grab backing tracks and hi res audio for this record at my site now :) nickjohnstonmusic.com/jam-tracks Would love to see some covers!
They won't block covers unless Nick wants them to and he won't. One of the nicest guys around. I have never been able to appreciate his guitar skills enough because his compositional beauty always seems to keep me so engrossed that I forget about individual instruments. My mom absolutely adores his work and is able to recognize his tracks even when spread randomly in my playlists, inspite of no background or special love for progressive rock /jazz music. He is a phenomenal composer

At a technical level, I'm impressed. Of course I would be... It's Nick. At a musical level, driving home just now, listening to this, I am fed. I feel more confident, my spirits are lifted, old dreams arise again; Nick has tapped into something greater than the sum of the parts (tracks, perhaps?) in the work he has done here. I am grateful for this. I think, rather than pitch a fit, threaten to burn my guitar, or quit playing all together, I'll dig deeper. Instead of trying to outplay the man, or prove anything, it may prove best to simply outdo my own self, to go further than before. I may also just be low on sleep. Thanks, Nick!
Big agreement - it isn't just about shredding or trying to make the guitar"sing" over a static backing track. Nick is a music composer. He creates music you want to listen to.
@@RKMontgomery I'm a piano guy first, so that's what raises my hairs. The guitar is great as well. It's the sustains and like b7s that bring out the soul in works like this. It's simplicity but with a volume to it. His compositions have a feel of sincerity to them. Sure, there's a lot more going on at times, but you don't "notice" it, you just ride along with it.
all artist at some point identify with others which to me is a compliment. in my view i grew up in the 7o's and went to at least 2 rock shows a week. andy, joe, eddie, vai. nick. eric, and all the other contemporary artists music has been done before. they have just taken it to another level. what unites them and us is the music. i appreciate all music which i'm sure you do as well. thanks for your reply and enjoy your gift from the universe for the love of music. take care.......PEACE
The fact that you have Nick Johnston, Andy James, Keith Merrow, Ola Englund, DavidMaxim Micic and Plini, just to name a few off the top of my head, bringing out stellar GUITAR based albums.... Man! Whoever said guitar was dead, clearly isn't listening to these guys take over from the old guard, who are also still bringing out awesome albums.
I saw this, dropped everything and put on my headphones. What a journey. A dark adventure, chaotic, fraught with pitfalls and exhilarating splendors. Patiently weaving through the mist and finding spots of rest. Discovering a reimagined vision of power, and ultimately what it means to take on the journey again with new eyes. Thank you Nick for your art!
I'm mainly a blues guitarist but you are honestly my favorite and most inspiring musician to listen to right now. Not just a guitarist, but a MUSICIAN.
@@whatokyea96 I have seen guitarists that don't sound to musical in my day. Unless you contribute every fart in the wind you hear to music, which it just might sound like.
I'm pretty sure that there will be human beings who listen to your works in the next 500 years, even if you stop producing today. I hope you'll never loose your humble, courageous and creative side as your popularity grows, sensei!
A lot of people at your skill level use music as a means to show off. You use it to compose music that is honestly so refreshing and...constructed. Your music is intentional, and you use complexity as a tool to explore music, not as a crutch. it's a lesson I think many forget. Keep on doing what you do man!
I chose to have this cued to where all I had to do was hit space bar. I put on a comfortable black blindfold, had no lights on in the room I had to experience this in dark solitude. Within minutes I was no longer anywhere and everywhere. Thank you for understanding balance. Its my belief this type of perfection can be created through the heart of a " fan" You absolutely stepped outside of yourself on this one Nick. AMAZING. Thank you, thank you thank you.
While I listen to guitar instrumental music my wife always shout- switch off that shit. While I listen this album she says- That's good. Leave it😜😁 There is no greater approval.
is that Nike’s guitar style has a certain sensual appeal, and in general, most women prefer things with that focus, it’s supposed to sound “mature”. Regardless of that Nick is inpecable in combining a traveling prog that involves, almost like a flamenco guitarist or a jazz man.
Mr. Johnston You are a great inspiration for me and I'm sure thousands of guitarist. Very melodic and well thought out music. Love your tone man. The use of the pickup selector is crazy cool to say the least. You put a Strat through its paces! I like what you do. I'm so glad that music doesn't have color barriers. I'm an African American and I completely enjoy your music. Sick and Injured Brain still is one of my favorite solos. My grandkids enjoy Nick Johnston! Keep it coming. Don't give in to the "shred gods"! You have too much to offer musically. Peace
Bought this one on Vinyl! It's so gorgeous. So happy I got it. This album is an instrumental masterpiece of music. So sad that many people on this planet will never understand it.
Everybody else has already said what a wonderful work this is Nick: - how stunningly creative it is, such beautiful melodies, stunning tones, imaginative arrangements and orchestrations (not bashing the listener over the head with incessant guitar pyrotechnics) - gorgeous colours & techniques - highly emotional in an extremely positive way. So I can only agree. Thanks for sharing so generously your stunning skills and creativiey.
Anyone else notice how long these songs are and this is not a complaint amazing stories to me this is a book taking us through a journey love it I almost forget about the instruments and just hear the story and that is an amazing achievement wow
Nick, not only is your album a masterpiece of guitar playing but even more for writing beautiful music. The sound of the songs, the composition and usage of instruments, the creation of atmosphere and of course your guitar playing. Just wonderful. I listened to your album already a few times and is getting better and better. Usually I get bored by guitar players quite fast. Not this time
I wish I had the intelligence and wit to adequately explain how amazed I am, and how much i appreciate and relish this masterpiece on so many levels. Every. Single. Song. I literally can't stop listening to it for a month now and consider it one of the finest musical works ever created. It is absolutely on the same level of achievement musically as any Plini, Dream Theater, Satriani, or Vai, to name a few, and a windfall of financial success would hardly be enough of a way to thank you for creating and sharing this, Nick. A million thanks to you
Genius work Nick. This record is a little more like a film score with guitar as the featured instrument. Very cool direction and evolution in your writing from "Remarkably Human". Thanks for the music!
Very good description - yes, it is more like a film score, is it!? More atmospheric, more orchestral, dramatic. The guitar still plays a leading role though, but other instruments are beautifully recorded and the mix is wonderful to my ears.
I thought the same thing, movie sound track when I heard Remarkably Human. Nick broke the shredder mode, like owning a Corvette, you can floor it when you want to, not constantly like some guys, which frankly, is pretty damn old, take a bow Nick, you deserve big success.
In "A Cure Promised", that raised 4th? in the main piano and guitar line, it's so spacey and melancholy, but also has a soaring quality. Just absolutely beautiful headphone candy going on here and we've just started on this album. Thank you Nick, what a wonderful thing you've given the world.
Great on how Nick focuses on making a song great and not just showcasing his guitar prowess. Beautiful use of other instruments and great composition. The album is a sonic masterpiece. Keep up the great work Johnston!
This album is truly amazing. I can't fully put it into words how impactful this album was. This is right behind Language by The Contortionist as my all time favorite album.
Thank you very much for your beautiful guitar music you are a musician so that the others talks about your music 1000 years and more . It was your choice right now you are immortal wish you all the best.
Wide Eyes In The Dark - is perfect! perfect fusion of various styles, jazz blues, progressive metal, all in a composition that exudes creativity and musical truth
I've been a fan of yours for years, I bought your tablatures and spent an entire summer listening to your albums at a job I loathed. It helped me get through the days. I also went to one of your guitar clinics before you went on tour with animals as leaders. I was never more inspired to go home and pick up the guitar and practice, I almost wish I had recorded it to replay it. You've evolved so much as a composer over the years in my opinion and it's been quite a treat to be along for the ride. You've inspired me tons as I'm slowly attempting compositions myself. You're a true talent, I'm looking forward to hearing all your future works and hope to see you in my city again soon. I rep you as much as I can whenever the opportunity arises. Thanks for putting your music out there.
While I'm a huge admirer of your soloing skills, what I love the most in this and previous albums is your chord progressions. Tense, chromatic, resolving, comforting (and normally all in one song!). Love your work, Nick. 👌👊 Come to Andertons again and do a Masterclass!
I just listened to this, and I have to say something, this is insane, where does one find such good guitar playing these days. Real good. I give this 5 stars out of 5.
most of time I do not write any coment, but this guy... come on what a piece of music art, thats insane! awesome work Nick, keep rocking on! thanks for share all those music with us.
The thing that makes Nick and the band interesting, is that they make instrumental sounds into a story form. Everything resolves from one chord, different time changes etc. Thx man. Keep this ball rolling.
Bought this album and it arrived in Australia from Canada yesterday - so excited, put it on my car CD player - bliss! I so rarely buy albums these days, but this album by Nick and the album by Martin Miller - I just HAD to have them - and to reward the artists this small way. Not religious, but spread the gospel of Nick!
Every Drop of Blood. Outstanding and beautiful composition. You are one inspiring SOB! Thanks you for sharing this amazing and wonderful work. Lord, not NOT stop playing.
I jam along to these tracks on guitar and man, the feeling that goes into every lick, every verse... its surreal. I get goose bumps every time I jam along to this. Thank you for this masterpiece Nick
It took me more than a year to "get" this album. I loved the prior two and this one was tougher for me to really get into. Now I'm into it, and it is really fantastic.
1h of musical journey. Please keep the work up Nick, what I'd give to listen to you live. Your soul is so beatiful, and your voice sings bright through your guitar.
I love this album!!! I still think it would be really cool for someone to make a whole animated film around your albums. They just give off this story telling soundtrack vibe
I love the wolf and snake song. Great solos Obviously its a continuum and your album tells something more. Higher forces use the artist to speak to mankind indeed.
Been having a really hard week. This Music you have made for the masses! It eases my soul, as it probably does others. I'm very blessed to be able to know about your beautiful music. Thank you for everything Nick Johnston! 💜🧡💙
Thanks for watching and listening, my friends. I appreciate all your support over the years.
Thanks to you Nick, you are amazing, love your music.
Nick Johnston, The Man, The Legend.
Your are one awesome musician! Thanks!!

Nick, I can't find any information about you touring. Are you not touring this album for the time being? Would love to see you play live man.
Keep up the excellent work, you talent is exceedingly progressing to new levels every time I listen.

At a technical level, I'm impressed. Of course I would be... It's Nick.
At a musical level, driving home just now, listening to this, I am fed. I feel more confident, my spirits are lifted, old dreams arise again; Nick has tapped into something greater than the sum of the parts (tracks, perhaps?) in the work he has done here. I am grateful for this.

@@jonnylee5000 Yes! It's music that makes even a musician think of something besides the music. Now THAT's rare.
My message to all of the modern shredders - this album is what music should be!
It would be boring if it was all the same. Jeff Beck and I share a birthday so you know who I jam with.. Just not all the time.
The title track "Wide Eyes In The Dark" is out of this world... So impressive!
totally agree.
the end of it is at the limits of the shamanic experience, gives a glimpse of the infinite power that lies dormant down your spine ;)

Man, hope you get better every day. I wish you the best
All the best for your recovery man.
Wish you all the best

So glad to see Benny Greb doing drums for this album. He's an absolutely brilliant musician!
Nick Acker!
@@maeveskora
Nick Acker i mean gavin harrison in remarkably human was really great too, nick only takes some genius drummers
This album is pure magic. I don't know how Nick does it, but the man tells stories through strings unlike anyone else that I've ever listened to.
Thank you!

Every Drop of Blood, Part 1 - Such an amazing track!
Yup. Makes me think of what a really great western film should feel like.
Nick is evolving. Feel the wide dreams in his tone, and find the wide soul in your blood.
Finally i can listen to this with headphones. What a difference!

use comas every once in a while o.o
This is one of the most musical of guitar oriented albums I have heard in years.
Nick has a very unique and distinctive style.

Such a beautiful collection of truly meaningful music in a time and era when Music is measured more on sales than content.

I've been a fan of yours for years, I bought your tablatures and spent an entire summer listening to your albums at a job I loathed. It helped me get through the days. I also went to one of your guitar clinics before you went on tour with animals as leaders.

I have never heard of you until this moment in time but wow. I didn't realize an hour passed until this album stopped.
Nick definitely reached next conscience level through this album
You tell stories through the guitar, that’s what makes you unique!
My body is ready
Every drop of blood pt.2 man i can feel those emotion from the guitar, beautiful
Each subsequent release sounds more and more cohesive and "narrative" so to speak. I love hearing how you've grown as an artist.
This album is just beautiful
I have listened to these songs so many times and they remain so utterly beautiful and so fresh. Total masterpiece.
This man is making a very substantial advancement in the development of music theory. I do believe.

Nick may not be the flashiest shred maestro (although he is very good), but he is so musical, and that trumps flash any and every day in my book.
Brilliant! Amazing soundscapes / sound sceneries, wonderful guitar tones, beautiful harmonies! Just Brilliant!

Holy shit a new Nick Johnson album! I'm so freaking hyped right now!
It took me more than a year to "get" this album. I loved the prior two and this one was tougher for me to really get into. Now I'm into it, and it is really fantastic.

kinda like Steven Wilson's music videos eh. I'm liking this idea.
I love the wolf and snake song. Great solos
Obviously its a continuum and your album tells something more. Higher forces use the artist to speak to mankind indeed.
Been having a really hard week. This Music you have made for the masses! It eases my soul, as it probably does others. I'm very blessed to be able to know about your beautiful music. Thank you for everything Nick Johnston! 💜🧡💙
incredible opening! reminded me of the feeling of petrucci! Passionate guitarist. It has a special charm as Steve goes, this album is brilliant!
I was waiting for this!
Going to listen it a million times!
Wow. I've never heard of you Nick, but am I glad to have found you!!! Good stuff
I have listened this album at least 20 times now and it only keeps getting better. This album is a masterpiece. Thank you so much Nick!
You're too good to us Nick! Thank you for sharing. All the best with everything. Would be great to see you down here in New Zealand some time.
I have listened to your previous album hundreds of times your guitar tone and music composition is absolutely amazing!
