Steffen Basho Junghans
Is

A Norman Records recommendation (4th December 2009)

This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

German steel-string fondler Steffen Basho-Junghans is new to these ears but now I'm at least ever-so-slightly more educated about his particular ouvre I can start shouting about this 200gm vinyl & download set on Architects of Harmonic Rooms. He specialises in well cerebral Takoma style meanderings that sound too trancendental to actually find words to describe. I feel like I've attempted to write about this kind of thing too many times, and when you're faced with a quality proposition like Mr. Basho-Junghans, you feel like an abject failure as there is not much criticism you could level at this guy who initially learned his art on the tougher, colder side of the Berlin Wall. There's some really blinding passages on this record, some tripped out bits, some introspective road-movie style segments but overall a lucidity & knowing.... This could go anywhere and you get the feeling it probably will. This certainly ain't some well-worn pastiche, this Is the real deal y' hear me?

What their label says...

We are delighted to announce our first ever release – ‘IS’ by six and twelve steel string German guitar master. Because of its intense nature and connection with solitude and depth of thought, we’ve gone for the two extremes:

Super heavy weight deluxe vinyl (200grams) that comes with free a digital download for those long walks with the ipod.
