To give up a promising career in brain surgery to pursue a musical dream in pre-glasnost U.S.S.R. says what kind of phenomena the producer of this stunning collection is. The respect he earned throughout Western Europe gave him the confidence to defect in 1993, fleeing with his family to England.
Dr Ika has played with most of the big name DJs in the UK. This award winning sample library captures the essence of what he does live, the loops illustrate his effortless speed & accuracy. Also included are sustained chords and FX.

Press Reviews
If you make the sort of music which needs...If you make the sort of music which needs competent rhythmic guitar parts and you don't know any tight guitar players (and I'm not talking about never buying a round of drinks) who own a multi-effects unit, this CD is exactly what you've been waiting for. Beautifully recorded and intelligently laid out, it covers a wide range of styles in a comprehensive selection of keys. In fact, it's jam-packed with just about every flavour of wah-wah, overdrive, distortion and flange known to man. Track 1 starts at 80bpm and the tempos gradually make their way up to 1 72bpm by track 74.
Exiled Russian neuro-scientist Dr Ika Kikvadze...Exiled Russian neuro-scientist Dr Ika Kikvadze (no, really!) is the man responsible for this collection of guitar samples, and a damn fine bunch they are too. Using an array of very cool effects boxes including Electro-Harmonix phasers and flangers and the Lovetone Meatball autowah, fed through classic amps like a Fender Twin and Vox AC30, Dr Ika lets rip with some superb riffs, sequences and plain bizarre effected guitar samples.
Put a guitar in the hands of a neurosurgeon who...Put a guitar in the hands of a neurosurgeon who defected from the U.S.S.R. to pursue his jones for "subversive Western guitar music" and what do you get? Not brain salad surgery. In the case of Guitar Odyssey, it's hundreds of exciting and inspirational sonic goodies. Dr. Ika Kikvadze is the neurosurgeon in question, and the man knows his way around the fretboard. In simple terms, he rips . . . and covers lots of timbral territory: funky wah-wah rhythms, fuzzed Jimi Hendrix lines, clean echoed passages, farting guitar-driven synth bass, fast chukka-chukka rhythm patterns, a few choice acoustic chords and licks, and more. As associate editor Ernie Rideout pointed out, the electric guitar is "mostly a very clean sound, like a Fender Stratocaster - appropriate for the styles covered. Although there are some beefy distortion tracks, you won't find anything with a thick, warm, tube sound."
If you had the choice of whether to be a brain...If you had the choice of whether to be a brain surgeon or a guitarist, which would you choose? Well, luckily for us, Dr. Ika Kikvadze chose the latter, even going to the extent of defecting from his home in the former Soviet Union to avoid the KGBs scrutiny of his interest in "subversive" Western guitar music. And so to Guitar Odyssey, Ika's first sample CD. He was spotted by the Digivibe team (who produced Guitar Odyssey) playing in a jazz club in Cardiff, but a common ground was not found until they saw him jamming away with the house DJ at one of their parties.
