Fennesz - Venice

yep. i can't complain though. for some of them it was the first time i heard them.

cendre is my favourite release of the year i think. it's got to the point where i can't sleep at night without listening.

I never picked that one up, since I never listen to the Sakamoto/Alva Noto stuff I have.

"On a Desolate Shore a Shadow Passes By"

Beautiful. Halfway through, the track (guitars & electronics making the sounds of surf) nearly falls apart - like when you let sand (metaphore might've been induced by the title...) slip through your fingers and the last grains are about to fall through - and then a wonderfully treated acoustic guitar comes through. Awesome.

happy 10th birthday Vemice!

Fuck me.
