It has a :' `: comfortable, melodic and intimate :' `: sound. Had this been a guitar solo :' `: album it would have reminded me of :' `: some of the Windham Hill label :' `: recordings from the early 80's - :' `: but it's the carefully placed :' `: additional sounds and sample :' `: effects that makes the difference. :' `: :' `: Adding the skills of Andy :' `: Tytherleigh (double bass, ukulele, :' `: banjo, guitar) and Jim Boxall, :' `: "Shakkei" (or "Borrowed :' `: Landscape") further explores the :' `: merging of intricate sounds and :' `: effects without losing the music's :' `: intimacy. It is a perfectly :' `: balanced album on which the music :' `: never is what is seems to be. If :' `: you want more comparisions: Simon :' `: Jeffes' Penguin Cafe Orchestra came :' `: to my mind. :' `: :' `: Although there is much interesting :' `: to be heard in the 17-track remix :' `: album "Shakkei Remixed", it also :' `: feels somewhat superfluous - the :' `: delicately balanced "Shakkei" :' `: hardly needed any further :' `: deconstruction. Still, it's very :' `: interesting to hear what artists :' `: like Leafcutter John, Aus, Plaid, :' `: Isan, Proem, Offthesky (and many :' `: others) choose to do with the :' `: original material. And the (quite :' `: different) choices they make in :' `: their reworking, since every title :' `: returns in different remix- :' `: disguises more than once. :' . ......... . . ................... . : .....::::::::::' : | `````:::::::' | : | `:::::::' | : | | `..:' | | _|__| ` |__|_ __ _________.' | | `._________ __ _ _____________ _ _______________ S! | . ______ _____ / __ __ _____ /__ __ ____ i . _/ ___/ | ___/ /__| |__| | | ___/ / /__| |__ \__| i__ |________. |__________________.| |______/_______ ___\_____ __/ |__| |_____ _ |__| . |__| __ _________ . c r u e l t y . _________ __ `. | _ ___ ____ ____ | .'
