A package from Blackest Rainbow has just landed and what an exciting one it is... bursting with goodness on cassette from Burial Hex, MV&EE w/ Willie Lane, Claudio Two and Cam Deas who's 'For The Silver Waters Sing' CD is now playing and both Phil and I have concluded that this is really rather good. It's some bloody good 12 string guitar action that immoderately has us making comparisons to James Blackshaw. However... Cameron Deas' approach to the instrument is his own with the first track building from gentle sounds into a crescendo of intensity and energy. If you like your guitar music like Sir Richard Bishop, Ben Nash, Jack Rose, Stefan Basho Jungens etc then this is a worthy addition to your collection.

CAM DEAS - For The Silver Waters, Sing! CDR
Second CDR from Cam on BR... this time around Cam focuses on 12 string guitar compositions (kinda like a tribute to Robbie Basho) rather than the more far out folk drone of 'Five Bells' (also reissued this month!). The kid has got some sweet finger picking going on... and at times almost has this kinda weird post folk aggro grunge twang to it, which I guess makes no sense, but check it out and you'll get me (maybe?). Closing track 'Raag Of The Sillver Waters' builds from the previous two 12 stringers, but Cam brings his own far out qualities to it with vocal drones, reverse looping, and bizarre bubbling bleeps. A definite for any fans of James Blackshaw, Robbie Basho... Edition of 98 hand numbered copies on pastel paper.
