Album Review
Gabe
Reviewed 2003-06-12
It does have the austere look of Ryuichi Sakamoto album doesn't it? It has the austere sound down too. But it's comparatively varied because there are guitars mixed in with the piano. On the other hand, the tone of the album is pretty constant - slow, quiet, contemplative. Nothing to disturb your meditation here.

1. Simple piano figure repeated over a rudimentary foot-tap rhythm
2. Pastoral acoustic guitar
3. Indie-folk strumming
4. Metallic owl's shimmery hooting
5. Reverbed piano solo; lots of breathing space
6. Lots of time to contemplate the beauty with a NPM (notes per minute) count hovering around 10 - waaay sparse composition with lots of silence; sounds themselves are some piano, some guitar, shakuhachi (or flute)
7. Lovely acoustic guitar composition
8. Short, repetitious, but ever so politely electric
