I don't think I've ever heard an album so given over to silence. In a sense, this album is an acknowledgment of the ultimate power of silence over music. Listeners wedded to form and structure and momentum will probably find "Northern Song" unsettling, even exasperating. Those who can allow themselves to be transported in the few moments a struck chord endures against the power of silence should find it captivating. Stereo Review

(Five stars.) "Yr" comes to us like an artifact from a lost civilization. It seems to be rich in detail and history, yet veiled in mystery and tinged with some vaguely felt exoticism. In fact, it is the creation of Steve Tibbetts, a multi-instrumentalist probing the same areas of global synthesis as Don Cherry,Mike Oldfield and Jade Warrior. Like Oldfield, Tibbetts' music is essentially a one-man production in which the recording studio and magnetic tape become instruments through which all elements are mixed and transformed into an almost mystical creation.
The all-instrumental "Yr" is Tibbetts' second homemade album and like the first, it is a guitar freak's dream. Tibbetts overdubs acoustic and electric instruments in a Hendrixian mindscape of production wizardry, often combining up to 20 guitars on one track. He layers the sound into breathtaking guitar choirs and intricate superstructures. His solos are twisting, singing journeys that evolve with the sense of spiritual awakening you'd hear in a Coltrane soprano run. After building to an exuberant climax that nears the breaking point, he supplants it with a plaintive acoustic guitar passage that initiates the next trip.
Though "Yr" consists of eight pieces, they all flow together as one extended composition in which a percussion ensemble provides continuity, color, and propulsion. The two tabla players maintain the questing forward motion that marks Indian music, while Marc Anderson plays a variety of instruments that give shape and ambiance to the heady atmosphere of Tibbetts' compositions. The effect is one of being carried down a fog-covered tropical river that unveils a new sight at every turn.
As on his first album, this is a completely self-produced effort, including the cryptic cover art and engineering. But no excuses have to be made for an album that can synthesize several expressions into a unified whole. Only Jade Warrior has managed to make music that is this blistering electric while still maintaining the pristine purity of acoustic folk and international musics. Seek this album out or it will become a relic rather than the living and vibrant expression it is. Downbeat

Experimental guitar collides with tabla, kalimba, pianolin, cello, steel drum and other percussion instruments, and tapes of "found sounds." The CD opens with a lush cover of Jimmy Page's "Black Mountain Side," and ever afterwards devotes itself to the vast, mysterious explorations of Tibbetts and percussionist Marc Anderson. The music's brooding and orchestral, with moments of Eastern intrigue giving way to sudden crescendos, children's voices, and industrial grunge. Tibbetts' bold single-string passages pilot twists and turns above slapped and strummed acoustic rhythms, and his quirky detunings and oddball figures provide a cinematic, edge-of-the-seat experience. No timidity or lack of ideas lurking here. Guitar Player

This is guitar music rich with pictures, elegantly morphing images that seem to float over and through one another in liquid collision like an old Fillmore light show: Jimi Hendrix in a weather-beaten bark canoe, paddling upriver through a light curtain of rain in an Asian jungle; Bo Diddley as a Buddhist monk robed in saffron, shuffling off to his dawn prayers in time to his trademark shave-and-a-haircut-two-bits beat; Carlos Santana struck dumb in the Sahara in front of a tremulous desert mirage; Robert Fripp in the court not of the Crimson King, but of the Dalai Lama.
As a guitarist, Steve Tibbetts definitely makes great mind movies. But The Fall of Us All, Tibbetts' sixth album for ECM, is also a trip of another, more explosive and enriching kind, a dynamic study of Eastern modality and universal spiritualism driven by rock & roll ambition. Immediate touchstones are the Zenlike art pop of Brian Eno's Another Green World, Santana's classic 1972 album of Coltrane-ish Arabian mysticism, Caravanserai, and the Butterfield Blues Band's prescient 1966 blues-raga "East West." But Tibbetts is very much his own man as both a composer and an improviser.
You can hear it, indeed feel it, in the breathtaking guitar and percussion ballet "Dzogchen Punks." A typhoon whirl of Tibbetts' manic Indo guitar and the startling gunfire percussion of his long-time collaborator, Marc Anderson, suddenly brakes into a dark, free-fall expanse of water-music riffing and finger-tap drumming, like Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness meets the third side of Hendrix's Electric Ladyland. In "Full Moon Dogs", Tibbetts opens with that scuffling Bo-cum-Buddha beat against the dulcimer-like chime of his own acoustic guitar and floating, wordless female vocals before ripping into a heated guitar and percussion argument, complete with high-speed congas and clanging prayer cymbals.
If nothing else, The Fall of Us All is a great showcase for Tibbetts' ways with guitar feedback. In "Roam and Spy," he shifts with graceful elasticity from revving-motorcycle growls to pithy dot-dash transmissions and laserlike beams of scream. But context, not chops, is everything on this album, whether it's the light brush-stroke harmonics of Tibbetts' guitar in "Drinking Lesson" or the way his acoustic mourning becomes electric halfway through "Hellbound Train" with a cat's cradle of acid-blues guitar tangle, voodoo percussion, and apoplectic drumbeats.
Tibbetts has spent the better part of two decades and eight albums--including two now rare, independent late-70s releases--in search of the Lost Chord. With The Fall of Us All, he has found something very close to it. Rolling Stone
Moments of primal violence and confusion emerge, but these are set against expanses of contemplation and gorgeous melodicism. If this were a diary, it would provide some frightening and exhilarating reading. CD Review
...a gripping soundscape that fluctuates from primal rage and caustic guitars on the industrial sizzlers to ambient ear massages on acoustic interludes. The Fall never falls short of exhilarating. USA Today
It's when Tibbetts plugs his guitar in that his music really escapes the pull of this earth and begins to chart the nether regions of the cosmos. On most of the electric cuts, Tibbetts erupts in his trademark style, which sounds somewhere between Carlos Santana on some fierce brown acid and Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster thrashing against high-voltage power cables in the night sky above Tokyo.

Steve Tibbetts' guitar speaks in Eastern tongues: the acoustic liquid-raga curls of "Lupra"; the watery electric suggestion of Tibetan monks deep in murmured prayer in "Black Temple"; the icy distortion whipping through "Glass Everywhere." A Minnesota instrumentalist whose pursuit of the transcendent in feedback and non-Western scales has taken him to Nepal and Indonesia and encompasses ten albums since 1977, Tibbetts also loves to rock: He recorded much of the searing guitar on "A Man About A Horse" in a single night, over frenetic Balinese drum samples colored and doubled by percussionists Marc Anderson and Marcus Wise. And Tibbetts' white-hot screams and dives in "Chandoha" combine echoes of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, wailing as one in the snowy peaks of Kashmir. Rolling Stone
