    After enjoying local success with bands such as Intrigue and Detective, Wenglewski has recorded a 4-song instrumental demo. Having classified his guitar compositions as "theatrical instrumental music," Wenglewski kicks off the tape with two slow and soulful tracks that incorporate layered guitar harmonies and cool embellishments for a sound well suited for movie soundtracks. The final two cuts are heavy and powerful tunes that come complete with rhythm guitars and double bass. With the addition of faster, more adventurous guitar solos, "Intrigue" and "Victory" become more memorable and show a different side of Wenglewski's talent than the previous songs. This album offers diversity and a wide array of musical styles. For ordering info write: Samurai Productions, PO Box 226 Glenpool, OK 74033.
