Machinone – Tokyo now available at Norman Records
It creates a wonderful mood of displaced solitude, the soundtrack to the first night spent in a foreign city as you view it vas an outsider…a series of beautifully played classical guitar evocations that you can’t help but fall in love with. A delight.
