"to know Black Eagle Child is to love Black Eagle Child. under this pseudonym, Michael Jantz makes the kind of music that anyone can fall in love with, even children, one of whom actually has some guest vocals on this brilliant new record. although Pages on a Plane saw its release this summer, it still stands as a remarkable work and one of Jantz’s most compelling statements yet. full of luscious, looping guitar melodies, this one even features an absolutely killer track with an uncharacteristic steady, grooving drum beat. covering new ground while also capitalizing on what he does best, Jantz has made a truly essential album." zen effects
"outdoor field recordings bolster the music's natural feel, with Jantz creating luscious tapestries of picked guitars" under the spire
como dice zen effects, es imposible no enamorarse de black eagle child, cada disco suyo es siempre motivo de alegría, pero además, tal vez porque lo tengo reciente, 'pages on a plane' es a michael jantz lo que 'the garden of eternal life' a mark macguire, ese disco perfecto que consigue ponerte la piel de gallina desde la primera hasta la última nota. en especial las flotante 'cycle to the moon' y la infinitamente tierna 'i am a bunny'. kraut field pastoral recordings
