A 1984 album by Swiss duo Diethelm / Famulari, featuring guitarist Thomas Diethelm—who also released an album produced by Irmin Schmidt on Can’s Spoon Records—and pianist/keyboardist Santino Famulari. Their debut album from the previous year is equally excellent, and this follow-up continues in the same beautifully refreshing and crystalline musical direction. Throughout the album, Diethelm’s acoustic guitar, shaped by multiple delays and harmonizers into a highly distinctive tone, blends with bright synthesizers to create a colorful and deeply soothing form of new age acoustic music. The expansive, symphonic developments are equally impressive, adding an uplifting sense of scale to the duo’s already vivid sound world.
