Available on CD too! Three years on from the acclaimed masterpiece "Camino de Flores" — praised not only by slow/organic dance listeners but also by Brazilian/Argentine listeners and DJs — and following the ritual-like gem "Ramas," here at last is the new album "Natura Sonora," a fantastical picture scroll that feels like a journey. Cinematic ∞ emotional... overwhelming quality!

The concept: "Nine chapters for setting off, through music, on an imaginary journey to the most beautiful natural places in the world while in lockdown." The production, scattered with field recordings of nature sounds captured on travels through various countries, is said to be influenced by Bernie Krause. Centered on gorgeous, fragile, floating synth work in praise of nature — with touches like Eastern European gypsy violin, or Arabic dabke dance slowed down with vocals laid over it — the map expands from South American folklore to traditional music/folklore of the world, evolving electric folklore further. It can also be read as a new kind of new age or ambient work proposed from this scene, and it represents an evolution in fine contrast to Nicola Cruz, who wields modular gear to approach deep techno/bass territory. The beautiful artwork is by Cuba's Tomás Sánchez. Released, of course, on Barrio Lindo and El Buho's label, Shika Shika Collective. Likely to stand as one of the definitive organic dance music works of late 2021. The label is already out of stock. Highly recommended! (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
