I think this is one of my best pieces of solo work. No particular mood in mind when I started work on it, however, as it grew, I visualised an image of someone attempting escape, ending up 'cornered', and so the crescendo at the end of the piece reflects the desperation at their situation, and then the gradual realisation at really having been 'cornered'! Written, recorded and produced by Martin Norman

This was one of my first attempts using the 'Guitar Army' concept and philosophy introduced and used so heavily by Jimmy Page, easily my biggest influence. With each building section of the track, I have added what I hope to be minimalist guitar parts, and also tried to show elements of light and shade.
