okay, well he's gotten a few brief mentions here and there, but i'm thinkin' he'll need a thread where i can rave about him as i get to hear more and more of his catalogue.
Speak No More About the Leaves... so far that's what i want to tell you about him, cause that's what i've heard... Uzim mentioned the song Airria (Hanging Gardens) in another thread, and i'm gonna have to agree with him on its awesomeness... this dude is a minimalist at heart, yet, he still possesses something very lyrical, perhaps even romantic... it makes for a very unsettling listen... pared down vocals, minimal piano, and sickly tones hovering about... so so nice... please give it a chance if you think it might be up your alley.

oo, i was just about to put in an order at staalplaat for the usual stuff but was looking for one more cd... something new altogether as i'm not ordering from there in a while and that's one of the only places i know with so much stuff. anyway -- they just happen to have this cd - with sound samples too! i keep listening to the track 2 sample. exactly the kind of thing i was hoping i'd find, quite unique. i'll think i'll go for this.
supers, thanks for the tip - perfect timing

brump, since that other thread about stuff we've been digging lately is kickin' about... this is another honest answer to that question.

it's quite interesting infact, that first song is very very minimalistic though, and i think i got the wrong album-four possible landscapes, but i couldn't find another one for now :)
will look further tho!!

Speak No More About The Leaves is good, though i think of it more like a sort of EP/single than a real "album"... nothing to do with the length or number of tracks of course, but even if the music is good, interesting and original, the album lacks diversity/ideas/other tracks/something to be a really consistent album. if you see what i mean.
