Pawlowski is relatively know in Belgium through various of his rock groups (Evil Superstars,..). Hans from HoBo Records, owner of a specialised recordshop in Antwerp asked Mauro to try something very individual, without any commercial considerations. After having heard a demo soon recorded after this, Hans being surprised by its originality, immediately agreed to release it, 600 only, with a specially designed hand printed cover.* They sell relatively quickly. Two raga-drenched guitar pieces with a certain rough guitar sound,("At the House of Lightning" and "Evening Girls") have an inspired improvisation play in a realm reminiscent of early Takoma raga-guitar pieces. "The Danced letter" in a same (raga) rhythm has a completely odd and annoying dissonant repeated drone ; being played in an equally fitting even more rough acoustic punk scraping-the-guitar technique, it is convincing. "Corsola" which follows is more quietly evolving still with eastern flavoured improvisation. Second side starts with another very different interpretation of a raga-like technique ; very experimental it touches different chords, drones and sounds, esoteric, then blending, on the edge of an openness towards the avant garde, but within a structuring shape with a unique technique keeping its balance from within. Also the next, title track, "Secret Guitar", in an opening improvisation tuning, seems to be lead by that same surprisingly self-constructiveness. The last track, "Rock'n Roll damage" played with relaxed ease and openings, has the most clear falling back on a chord structure, still entirely in a different way from a common rock instrumental.

* PS. Each cover is different.
