CD Late Summer Morning (Strange Attractors/ USA - Oct/24/2006) "Steffen Basho-Junghans has tethered his elaborate language into a pristine wedding of sound, resulting in what surely is the most actualized summation of his musical quest to date. Late Summer Morning is "minimalist trance-folk", a modern masterpiece of where Guitar Soli has gone, and where it can go next." (Strange Attractors)

Last Days marks the third in locust's perennial series of Wooden Guitar solo discs since the 2003 release of the compilation of the same name." (Locust)
