Producer: Adrian Belew


The Guitar As Orchestra: Experimental Guitar Series, Vol. 1 was originally intended to be the first in a series of Experimental Guitar albums created by Adrian Belew, mostly as a means of expressing the musical concepts that would otherwise not be released by conventional recording labels. Although there had been plans to create a second release entitled The Animal Kingdom, there has been no word of this subsequent effort either being created or released. While many consider The Guitar as Orchestra to be little more than a failed experiment, the severity of criticism seems to have squelched any aspiratons of Belew's to continue with his Experimental Guitar series in the foreseeable future.
