THE REVIEW
This track surprised me. It's just a single from this "one man band," but it really struck me with its atmospheres. Relaxing, yet at the same time complex with refined arrangements.
It starts with an accelerated piano arpeggio and the organ laying a sonic carpet. Then the harmonica draws an intriguing melody. A stop. And then... a truly intriguing harmonic progression with the guitar painting notes in the sky. The harmonica returns, along with the syncopated rhythm. The piano and guitar describe sonic lace. The next opening is worthy of the best prog groups but stripped down, without frills. It continues with the reprise of the melody and basic rhythm (piano and guitar). It fades out at the end with a classical piano arpeggio. I like it. And you?
