    Nick Johnston tunes always sound really familiar. Like I've heard it a long time ago, but then forgotten it. Brings back memories that don't exist. Weird.

    I read Nick's album description for this one and I'm 100% hyped now. Atomic Mind, while a brilliant exhibition of guitar talent and musicianship, overall wasn't my cup of tea, it just dabbled in too many genres I don't really listen to and I could never get into it. I first heard the track "Atomic Mind" and it blew me away, so when I went to the rest of the album looking for more, it was almost like getting blindsided. But seeing that Nick realized this and changed focus for this new album has me all pumped up. I hope we get more of this moody soundtrack style stuff.
