NATIONAL PRESS SPOTLIGHT
National press accolade soon followed: “It's not often we declare a guitar album to be outstanding, yet Tim Scott has come up with something that's both highly original and genuinely refreshing” by Guitar Techniques (magazine)
“For a man who’s been frequently compared to some of history’s greatest guitarists, Tim Scott’s forward-thinking attitude towards dance music is not only commendable, but has assisted in producing some delectably unique music. Being compared to the likes of Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai and Steve Lukather may have prompted a less ambitious musician to perpetually play it safe, something which Scott has absolutely failed to do” by Zavvi (Virgin Megastores)

- Rooftop Chillout Guitar - Bora Bora Space Junkie - Tim ScottWhen I got out of bed at 5:30am to practice. I didn’t figure that by 10:30am, I’d be on a rooftop car park in central Manchester with the wind picking up and the rain coming in. Although it felt really good to be outside making a big noise!

I used this experience to influence my writing and blended it with super glassy Jeff Beck style guitar tones.
