This is one of Blackshaw's more brief tracks, sadly MOG cannot handle his more substantial works due to the file size limit. But that doesn't mean this isn't great, because it is, a really lovely gentle guitar and harmonium melody. One of his more eastern-inflected tunes.taken from Blackshaw's homepage.

London-based 12-string guitarist James Blackshaw has shown scant loyalty to record labels in his relatively short album career, giving a bit more love to Tompkins Square than others, but it seems he has finally found a home with Young God Records.

Listening to him is like lying down in a mountain stream and staring up from beneath the surface at the sun coming down through the trees. Have a listen to this track off of the Imaginational Anthem: Volume 2 comp on Tompkins Square Records:Jam...
