Guitarist Jim Matheos made his name as part of the seminal progressive metal outfit Fates Warning, but his occasional solo releases have taken an altogether different tack. Meditative, new age-style acoustic instrumentals were the order of the day on his solo debut, 1993's First Impressions; the follow-up, Away With Words, didn't appear until 1999, but it continued in essentially the same fashion.

None of Fates Warning's previous output gave any indication that Jim Matheos could play like this. Even after Fates Warning moved from heavy metal to more progressive music, the guitar sound remained metallic. While Matheos is no Michael Hedges (an obvious influence here), he does establish himself as a fine acoustic guitarist in the same tradition of William Ackerman and other Windham Hill artists. This is not so much an impressive guitar recording as it is a pretty one. His sound, compositions, and arrangements are stunning and full of emotion. The one song that stands out here is "Pause for Paws." It is without question Matheos' most impressive guitar moment captured on disc. When the time comes for him to hang up his electric guitar with Fates Warning, it is hoped that he returns to this style. This is a very reflective listen and a major stamp of credibility for a musician who has remained committed and focused on his musical goals.

Six years after his first solo album, Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos returns with the follow-up, Away With Words. It's fairly similar to its predecessor, with Matheos performing gentle acoustic guitar-based instrumental pieces rather than the flashy prog metal of his full-time gig. Once again, it's tasteful and well-played, featuring such guest musicians as violinist Charlie Bisharat and bass virtuoso Michael Manring. Sometimes it's a bit too tasteful and ends up blending into the background, but then again, that can be a legitimate aim of this type of instrumental music. However, for the most part, the musicians maintain their focus, making Away With Words the equal of its forerunner.
