Saltillo, MS (January 7, 2008) – A composition by the Milwaukee, Wisconsin group Spiral Trance is included in the soundtrack for Solidbodies, The 50 Year Guitar War.
The feature-length documentary which is now available on DVD focuses on the
five decade competition of sounds between the two guitars that have been heard on more popular recordings than any other instruments during the rock era: the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul.
The Spiral Trance composition, Breathe Again (instrumental), is also featured in the film's trailer which can be seen at www.solidbodiesthemovie.com.
Among the others contributing to the project are Joe Bonamassa, internationally acclaimed guitarist known for his technically accomplished playing; Henry Garza, guitarist and singer with the Grammy Award winning Los Lonely Boys; George Gruhn, owner of Gruhn Guitars who is considered to be one of the world's leading experts on vintage guitars; Derek Trucks, famed slide guitar virtuoso who leads his own group and also plays with the Allman Brothers Band; and Richard R. Smith, the author of "Fender: The Sound Heard 'Round The World" which is often viewed as the definitive book about Fender guitars and Leo Fender.
The documentary was written and directed by Guy Hornbuckle. The director is an award-winning broadcast journalist whose company Lightning Lab Productions, LLC produced the project.
