NIGHTWISH MEETS EVANESCENCE MEETS MATRIX SOUNDTRACK!?!

Critically acclaimed guitarist & composer Andrew W. Bordoni isn't your typical "shred-fest" guitarist.
With influences that go from Steve Lukather (toto) to John Williams (composer) to Juno Reactor (The Matrix) and everything in between, his style is fresh and original. Tired of the current "copy cat" music scene and boring instrumental albums, Andrew focuses on creating something new and original yet somewhat familiar.
His previous project "EARTHCUBED" featured Kristin Lamb on Vocals and Violin and combined progressive metal with celtic and AOR influences. His new project "ECLECTICA" features professional opera singer ROBIN WIPER and fuses elements of metal, techno and movie score styles.
Several songs from the new album "ECLECTICA" are also going to be featured in the upcoming independent movie "THE RUNNER TRILOGY" from award winning director Henry Lopez (Best Director/Best Short Movie at the New York Independent Film Festival 2002).

"ECLECTICA" is in a genre of it's own combining many influences and styles making it very difficult to categorize yet remaning catchy, melodic and somehow familiar. The best way to put it is to take the vocal approach of "Nightwish", the commercial appeal of "Evanescence", the grooves of "Juno Reactor" and the epicity of composer "Don Davis" from "The Matrix soundtrack" and you can sort of get an idea...
The amazing vocal performance of Robin Wiper, the groovy and powerful drumming of Todd Sorensen matched with the guitar wizardry of Andrew W. Bordoni and the stellar production makes "ECLECTICA" a must have for any music fan!
6 Vocal tracks, 4 instrumentals and a fantastic guest appearance of Maestro Shredder Matt Konfirst for over 50 minutes of amazing music!
"ECLECTICA" is bound to become one of the most original albums in years to come!

  • Bound to become a cult classic.

    I can't believe only 100 copies were made of this CD and I own one of them and now for some unbelievable unkown reason it is no longer in print. Eclectica can easily compete with Nightwish & Within Temptation if they had a label backing them and a bigger budget for the production. That does not mean that it sounds bad at all, actually it is one of the best recordings I have ever heard from an independent band and sounds much better than many bands with labels behind their backs. Robin on vocals is amazing and mesmerizing and of course Andrew on guitar is the usual genius (see his Earthcubed cd's also, I think those are still available). Every song on this album is a story of it's own and each one is a gem. Very diverse from one another yet everything flows like chapters in a book. I think this album is available on i-tunes and I really reccomend buying it now. You won't be dissapointed.

  • Absolutely Incredible CD! Bordoni + Robin=Magic!

    Considering the incredibly short amount of time that was alotted to create this CD (a week) this is genius! Some bands work months and/or years to have a finished product this awesome. Bordoni compares to the likes of Satriani and Vai! Combine that with a voice similar to Tarja Turunen of Nightwish and this CD just knocks you out. If you love smart incredible guitar playing and the female operatic voice superbly intertwined with the music....then you will LOVE this! BUY IT NOW!!!

  • I Love it.

  • A fantastic album - 5 out of 5

    NOTE: See my full review for more details. Robin's voice is just one of the many things that are different from the Earthcubed albums. The overall impression is one of awesome riffs, soaring solos and fantastic vocals. In my opinion, this album is at least as good as his previous work. Is it better? It really is a tough call, because I love the Earthcubed albums. But after spending a few hours listening to songs from each album, I've decided that Eclectica edges out the Earthcubed albums. If enough people support Andrew W. Bordoni, then just maybe he'll get the recognition he deserves. Do both him and yourself a favour by buying this CD.
