Actually I have a good one.

Francis Bean.

Two words but it's a name and I'm making the rules anyway.

Dollop.
Thwack.
Qwerty. That's gotta be the one.

>>

>> What about the guys of Hella? That's like a new way of playing guitar

>> On the other hand, another quite original guitarist -maybe not very

>> I

>> Meshuggah's "Catch Thirtythree" from 2005 is not that good, but still is

>> And Jeff Pearce, in the ambient vein, though nakedly obvious he's
