Pathfinder Quote from HiFi+, UK - "A guitar is a guitar is a guitar? Wrong-o! Each instrument has its own sound and its own soul. Seventeen (!) different types of guitars in a studio, up to five guitars a track, 45 days of recording, mixing and mastering – and every single note is worth the time and effort! Listen two, three times, and you will realize that Bert "East" Östlund is a superb musician who really works miracles. A masterpiece!" The breadth and range of styles, techniques and genre of Pathfinder makes it a unique guitar album in the sense that it cannot be labelled……..though  perhaps ‘the complete guitar album’ could be considered even though this was not the original aim. Bert “East” Östlund’s musical journey takes us not only to Detroit and Nashville in the USA and Newcastle in England but also to Rio and Paris! The music has all been composed and arranged by ‘East’ himself with music of outstanding quality and featuring his considerable collection of guitars both acoustic and electric and where the Telecaster and Strat play leading roles.

Autumn Shuffle Quote from Svenska Dagbladet   "The opening bars remind us of Ry Cooder's version of Dark End of the Street. Soon the melody undergoes a change, but with the same very rich and lyrical slide-tone, the same richly charged beauty.   Also Peder af Ugglas moves equally unerringly and tastefully between the various styles.  He develops a blues-saturated tonal picture in Wino's Dance without slide.  With the electric slide, smartly used wah wah-pedal and heavy organ-chords he performs a freely flowing blues in Central South. Otherwise he moves freely between delta-blues and Gospel, occasionally spiced with New Orleans.   But af Ugglas guitar playing puts music at the centre.  The tone is warm and full, sometimes rich, his solos precisely expressive, and the Spanish guitar in Passion is so soft and passionate that time stands still.  Then the supreme moment is near."
