 gareth dickson - the amber goose dance (unlabel, 2006)

"These tracks were recorded at home over a fairly long period of time (2002-2005). Some of them were released previously on an album called 'Spruce Goose', others are tracks towards a forthcoming album entitled 'The Dance' and the rest towards an EP to be called 'Amber Sky'.There are no overdubs on any of the tracks and the effects are usually recorded with the track. I use a steel string guitar and Electro Harmonix delay and reverb pedals. The aim being, really, to draw on a lot of the electronic music I love and still get to play a guitar." Gareth Dickson

una de las razones por las que me llevaría The Amber Goose Dance a una isla desierta es porque 'Technology' se parece a Mr Wollogallu de Nuno Canavarro y Carlos María Trindade

pero también porque 'Amber Sky' me recuerda a las canciones que tan bien saben hacer Ben Chasny, Ylias Ahmed o Boduf Songs

y por la cantidad de nombres que vienen a la cabeza al escuchar Clamber, The Dancer o Solina Sea. Labradford, Eno, Bert Jansch, Goldmund, Max Richter...

porque tal vez exagere, seguro, al comparar la belleza clásica y sencilla de Salvia Space con Satie. o tal vez no

porque no existe mejor forma de despedir y coronar un disco que, de nuevo, Technology, con esa breve intro de guitarra acústica suspendida en el aire y un emocionante desarrollo que tanto se parece a Cmt Guiar de, una vez más, Canavarro e Trindade.

y porque a Nick Drake seguro que le hubiera encantado

technology

(the air is thick with trees/i am fit to leave/tv, how do you bear and be...technology/death is a breeze, death is abreeze...technology)
