Recent album
For the music listener who appreciates rich sounds and technique of the guitar, Peter Northcote’s album Poindexter and the Genius Sex Act is simply a ‘must have’ in your collection. The sitar, Rock and a Japanese flavour are prevalent themes throughout the album. Peter lends his voice to some of the songs throughout the album (such as Japanese Girlfriend) while narrative by the well-known astrologer, Dadhichi, adds further depth and ambience. The album is crafted with attention to detail in almost every aspect, from the arrangements and mixing to its physical presentation. The CD comes in a beautiful, high quality case which in itself is a work of art.
