Heh, this was a type of alien visitation film I didn’t expect. Aside from the relatively modest budget, little-known director and no-name cast, it’s also one of the most unusual pieces of sci-fi I’ve seen in a while. It’s great to see familiar territory shaken up and given a new spin: it’s even better when the story takes on a lot of more terrestrial issues and throws personal drama into the mix. To me it does with aliens what Eve no Jikan does with robots.
While my main instrument for both practice and live is my trusty Gibson SG, my most prized possession at the moment is a guitar I picked up second-hand nearly ten years ago. I was looking at the time for something with a Gibson-esque sound but back then my student budget wouldn’t stretch that far. The next best thing, I was told, was one of the Japanese copies but to go for a used instrument to get more for my money.
My beloved Ibanez and my cheap-and-cheerful Tanglewood acoustic
The money in question was £400 iirc, although I’ve been told since then that similar models go for considerably more than that these days. Basically it’ll gain value the longer I keep it as long as I look after it but quite honestly I’ve no intention of selling it just yet.
