Ironomi - Sketch (CD)

We didn't get a promo of this one and there's no way we're opening one of these babies as they're so cute in their sealed little hardback book sleeves, so I'm just doing this off the sound clips we got sent. From what I can hear you get some neo-classical tinkling with some fuzz and noises in the background (a tweety bird in one of the tracks!) The 'fuzz' is very outdoor sounding and it's making me feel like I'm sat outside typing which is weird 'cos I'm definitely sat inside typing although I'm in the hallowed review chair and there's a window right in front of me instead of walls. Sounds very pretty from the clips though I'm not sure if the fuzz is actually part of the music or MP3s being a bit crap (don't trust the things). Either way it sounds nice and is thoroughly representative of the usual output from Kitchen. If you're a fan of Haruka Nakamura's last release on the label then this will appeal. Also fans of other Japanese music types like Motohiro Nakashima and Susuma Yokota will enjoy this!
