Albion

by Juta Takahashi

Berkdrums ‘Albion’ (which is a different (ancient) name for Great Britain) to me is the perfect album for people who don’t know the music of Juta (yet!). I think it’s the perfect combination, the musical-palette from which Juta shapes and colours his amazing works...’Silver Waves is indeed a perfect example of the beautiful, drifting soundwaves that to me sound typically as his style. On ‘Frozen Day’ the stunning combination of drones and piano (Harold Budd-esque, which doesn’t mean it’s a copy, but an interpretation for me to describe the feel.) ‘Shining Valley’: oh yes, Juta’s fingerprints all over this style: deep, immersive drones with beautiful melodic synths, and soundwaves on top.. Warning: you’ll get addicted to his albums after this! ‘Maeve’: breathtaking & beautiful.. Just speechless about this one. ‘Summits’ to me is the best last track you could imagine for this album.. It feels as if we’ve reached the highlands after this incredible journey, it feels deserted, as if we’ve reached the place we were searching for (somewhat like on the artwork).. BRILLIANT album! (Again..)
