In the continuity of ORDINARY DAYS done at the beginning of year, also at Zymogen netlabel, the very productive Takeshi Nakamura invites us, not without derision, to 31 minutes of EASY LISTENING declined in 6 pieces.
"Wonderful" which opens this new opus, sorrow slightly to be convinced in front of such an eminent predecessor such as "Voices" on ORDINARY DAYS.
The first true success of this EP awaits us with the second track, "I sink", intense swarming and laconic voice on an acknowledgement of impotence monocorde.
"Cloud" invites us to an abstraction enriched with the cut-up by the best effect.
"Defeat"delivers some secrecies that thanks to an abandonment to variable amplitude, not very convincing.
"Particle", innovative, probable interlude enough not a certain disinterest of its creator, whom we
hope for momentary.
Finally the release is closing again on "Sundial" built on the concept of a progressive covering.
Wasn't that EASY LISTENING superfluous?
Perhaps, an error, altogether, without consequence …
