Chris Eckman, deserves a careful listening!

I've had this album laying around the house for quite a few months now (if not years! I really don't remember when did this guy make it through my record collection's check-in desk...) but , who knows why, never really paid much attention to it...

Something about the cover that never compelled me to press the play button on the CD Player.

Ok, so I confess being a sucker for artwork. I've got a certain tendency to be compelled , or not, to listen to a new artist only by judging its cover...

Yes, I'm one of those rare folks that still thinks artwork is an important part of an album... Especially on a 12"LP Cover

Not that it really implies anything but...

I find it to be one of the downsides / turnoffs of digitally distributed music over the net. You miss that joy of picking up your 'swissy', tear the plastic or carton apart, and ravish your newly acquired record....

Or even worst, missing on spending half a morning on a record shop searching for new music!

And yes, there is something special about the smell of old vinyl records... Anyway...

Woopsie! Should've looked into this record sooner!

Been missing some serious music here...

Sometimes is voice reminds me of Roger Waters voice... Not that there's any resemblance to Waters music...

I'll leave you with two songs from is latest album (2008). Arrrg, it took me 5 years !!!!

Hope you enjoy it.

"‘Who Will Light Your Path ?’ is especially beautiful, a duet between Eckman and the sultry-voiced Anita Lipnicka that muses on the uncertainty of the future and love(“Who will wait for you at the crossroads ?At midnight towards what light will you turn ?”), and which sets together echoing strings with a pulsating synthesiser and an acoustic guitar." in http://www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk/
