CNET Editors Review:
Skilled guitarist Amir Perelman meshes the many musical styles
he's picked up while plucking his way around the globe.
Whether dabbling in traditional Indian music or playing
contemporary Western material, the Israeli composer seems to
always teeter his tunes on the edge of complexity.
He's gone as far as to modify his guitar to sound like a sitar,
strumming dazzling melodies in the process.
