Title: enchanting
Review: Steffen Basho-Junghans is an artist who wears his influences on his sleeve. his playing reflects the styles of John Fahey, and (more obviously) Robbie Basho (whose name he has adopted, supposedly "not for fan boy adulation"...or so the liner notes say). no matter who he admires, Basho-junghan's guitar sound is lovely and his pieces here are full of thoughtful moments. each song takes it's time, exposing the melody in it's own simple way. eventually, small strands of improvisation begin to form around the edges whether it be in the form of a flamenco flourish or some kind of unknown harmonic scale. this is reflective music that strives deep to open up new worlds of melody and beauty hidden within ever changing patterns. with Robbie Basho long gone and Fahey as well, it's nice to know that their spirit still lingers within these songs. and...despite the horrible "hey, i just learned Illustrator" cover art, this album is a worthy purchase for the open-minded acoustic guitar folk fan.
