Description

First released in 1982, Primitive Guitars truly is a solo album by Phil Manzanera released at the same time as Roxy Music’s Avalon. One track, called “Impossible Guitar,” lives up to its title in every way.

Marking Manzanera’s tenth year of as a professional musician, “Primitive Guitars” is an attempt at reviewing his stylistic growth via a series of solo pieces that reflect the various stages of his life: childhood in South America, adolescence in London, stints in Roxy Music, 801, and other projects.
