They Say...
Kato Hideki has some impressive help on this release -- among them Zeena Parkins and John Zorn. The music flows from deconstruction and soundbites to broken Asian percussion to jazzy bass grooves. Hypnotic and abandoned, Hope & Despair is a disembodied tone poem of the forgotten but still remembering. This is an ambient jazz experiment in broad-stroked moods.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
