"Julien Kasper again proves he is one of the finer
rock guitar instrumentalists around. He’s got great
chops and feel and unquestionable tone. In fact, the sounds
of the guitars are damn near perfect. And best of all, the
compositions here are well-written... A surefire frontrunner
on this year’s instrumental list." — John Heidt, Vintage Guitar,
Sept 2006 Review of The New Imperial
"Kasper displays... righteous control, dead-on phrasing,
progressive composition and savvy ears. This guy is really,
really good!" — Guitar Player Magazine
"Kasper's playing is authoritative & adventurous. With
forays into jazz phrasing and high-octane blues, his melodic
attack combines equal parts of Jeff Beck and Hendrix channeled
through monumental tone..."
— Guitarist Magazine, June 2006

With The
New Imperial , an entirely instrumental offering,
Julien not only flaunts his blistering guitar chops but
also crafts memorable melodies and grooves. On occasions
there are elements reminiscent of "Blow by Blow" era
Jeff Beck and "Band of Gypsies" Hendrix, interwoven
with Julien's individual jazz leanings.
Once again bucking trends of digital editing and excessive
production, The New Imperial was
recorded live in studio to analog tape.
"As a rock guitar album, it's at the top
of the heap... an enjoyable album that combines outstanding
playing with a strong rock spirit."
— George D. Graham, WVIA-FM, Nov. 1, 2006
