Luna Kafe Review Extract
One half of the majestic Glassacre and a great solo artist in his own right, Chris Mason also records under the My Majestic Star moniker, producing excellent instrumental guitar music in the style of Papa M's masterpiece Live From A Shark Cage. These nine songs are spacious, melodic, and achingly affecting, weaving reverb-drenched and delayed guitar lines, samples of garbled voices, keys, and a simple but effective rhythm section. The standout tracks are the opener "Coffee Stains and Beer" for solo guitar, which conjures the same atmosphere of reflection and longing as Shark Cage's gorgeous "Arundel", and is easily its equal. Then, "Half Measures" loses the listener in a disorientating swirl of distorted guitar arpeggios, voices and shuffled drums, and is an exhilarating ride.
