A review from Dr David Buckley.
John Ellis’ muse is as overactive as ever. There’s a wonderous array of styles here on these 12 instrumental pieces. From menacing electronica that verges on music concrete on the startling opener ‘Deep Breathing to Aid Concentration’, and peerless fretwork and E-Bow guitar on ‘Kimigayo’, to beautiful folk-inspired stylings for the anthemic ‘Rainclouds Over Fuji-San’, the listener is both challenged and delighted in equal measure. The music always pushes the boundaries and sits foursquare in the art rock tradition of Fripp, Eno and even Mike Oldfield. There’s nothing staid, cliched or predictable here: this is Modernist music for the new decade.
