What we say
 This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.
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.
