'first and last' is the debut solo album from rm hubbert: guitar wizard and all-round splendid fellow. the album's a stunning collection of instrumental guitar pieces that reflect upon life, love, depression and death and while that may sound a tad on the 'heavy' side, we can only assure you that it's a beguiling, beautiful piece of work. the tracks incorporate elements of folk, flamenco and samba, and were often inspired by dark events in hubby's past, notably the death of his parents and his diagnosis with depression. that these traumatic events resulted in an album of such beauty is testament to hubbert's considered and subtle strengths as a composer. on chemikal underground.
