Stay Calm (It’s Only Been A Month…)
Calm - Running On The Sand (MP3)
Calm - Sitting On The Beach (MP3)
Desperately trying to avoid a stint in the BFF naughty corner, I thought it best to pull my finger out quick sharp before the blog police (Chris and Kev) notice that it’s been over a month since my last post. Whoops…
Not wanting to rush into things too much, a good a place to start as any, is with the maharishi of all things downtempo, Kiyotaka Fukagawa, a.k.a Calm. Not really heard much from Calm of late; he is probably too busy with his new(ish), and most excellent side project, ‘Japanese Synchro System‘. The last album I purchased was way back in 2000, and is the breathtakingly laidback ‘Shadow Of The Earth’ on Exceptional records.
Personal highlights on said LP are ‘Long Way, Long Time (The Second Page Of Creator’s Delight)’ and ‘Dubbing For The Nature #2 (Waltz For The Virgin Forest)’, which were also released on a lovely little LP sampler on BFF label of choice, Music For Dreams. You should, by now, know how much we wax lyrical about that Danish label, so, to avoid repeating myself, (and to avoid Mr Bager issuing a law suit against us for posting something close to his entire back catalogue), it’s probably best we go with something else.
‘Running On The Sand’ and ‘Sitting On The Beach’ are that something else. Not only are they both a perfectly calm re-introduction to the BFF blog, they also issue a few subtle hints as to why I haven’t really been on here too much…
