Are you down with jaw-dropping feats of acrobatic acoustic-fretboard wizardry? Or maybe you just like evocative, often Latin-flavored melodies so infectious they infer their own rhythms? Either way, the new CD from Mexico City-bred guitar duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela is right up your alley. And if you happen to love both those things, 11:11 IS your alley. The pair continue to move away from their shred-metal influences, which, with the exception of the electric solo in “Atman,” mostly show through in the technique and mood - the latter tending to lean toward the dark and ominous when not overtly showing its Spanish and Mexican roots. Sparse percussion occasionally fills out the sound, and a gorgeous piano accompanies in the highlight title track, but mostly it's just guitars, guitars, guitars, played so well they really don't need anything else. - Scott Harrell
