Performer: James Blackshaw
Engineer: John Hannon; John Hannon... Producer: John Hannon; James Blackshaw; John Hannon; James Blackshaw... Distributor: Fontana Distribution Notes: Personnel: James Blackshaw (12-string guitar, Farfisa, cymbals). Recording information: No Recording Studio (12/11/2003). This Londoner and his mesmerizing 12-string guitar push Richard Thompson's Celtic-meets-raga style closer to India with an extraordinarily dextrous marriage of busy fingerpicking and meditative drone. Following the critical success of THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING, Tompkins Square records reissued this 2003 work, which features two epic tracks. All listeners will be entranced, but anyone who has ever picked up a guitar will be slack-jawed.
Rolling Stone (p.68) - "[A] two-part, half-hour suite of tumbling, repetitive motifs that mutate and expand like rippling circles of pond water."
