Oh god. Remember the Manyfingers album we had in our occasional listening column eons ago? It was called 'Our Worn Shadow' & was possibly one of the most sumptuous bouts of playful neo classical wonderment we'd all heard ever. Or something. Now Acuarela, the Spanish people, have lovingly taken the gauntlet & thrown it into the pit for inspection. It's simply 8 wonderfully constructed tracks of passionately layered instrumentation (accordion, Spanish guitar, cello, piano, drums and more) I'm really struggling to describe the magnificence of this album. If you dig Four Tet's more spellbinding & hypnotic moments, Yann Tiersen & Sylvain Chauveau's chamber music & possibly the likes of Steve Reich (or even maybe spots of Terry Riley!) then this gem of a CD should be in your collection. It's like a one man orchestra smashing in yer eardrums. Comes with a fascinating DVD filmed in his (Chris Cole's) hometown Bristol that showcases the man's "manyfingers" at work. A true maverick.
