THE REVIEW
Sssssshhhhhh.....turn up the volume.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn........
What am I listening to, out of curiosity? Music.
Music...? Yes, music.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Sound.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
Sound.
Silence.
Sound.
Silence.
Silence.
A GUITAR. Nothing else. Sound and silence, silence and sound, sound and silence, silence and sound. A dialogue?
Yes: silence is sound too. Silence exists, silence is there, silence IS.
Dead times are music. Music too. The narrative continues while the listener sleeps. Sleeps...?
Yes, you'll sleep (on the first listen).
Yes, you'll sleep (on the second listen).
Yes, you'll sleep (on the third listen).
Yes, you'll sleep (on the four........zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz).
On the fifth, MAYBE.... The fifth will be the one, I'd bet. It was for the one speaking.
For "Egypt Before the Sands," it took 20. On the twenty-first, I made it.
Formless, abstract, desolate, spectral, aseptic, disturbing, anguishing, depressing, sideral non-melody.
Poetry...? On the sixth listen, it can be judged.

Summary by Bot
Taku Sugimoto's 'Opposite' challenges traditional music listening by blending silence and sound through solo guitar. The album requires multiple listens to appreciate its abstract and poetic qualities. Initial impressions may induce sleepiness, but persistence reveals a unique narrative. It is a contemplative exploration of form, absence, and ambient sound.Tracklist
