While the whole of Wayne Krantz's Signals (Enja, 1990) is a bit too impressive a debut to be called prototypical, the origins for what would become the meat of the guitarist's stylistic identity lie in "One Of Two." Along with its companion piece (the cleverly-titled "Two Of Two"), this solo performance is arguably the first recorded appearance of the bespoke and revolutionary approach that cemented Krantz into a guitar icon.
