On this release, the man's balancing act is even more pronounced. \"White Sheep and Small Light\" weds horns and a kindergarten calliope to create a soundtrack for the Penguin Café's day-care center, while the 17-minute \"Chrysalis\" sounds like a nearly random collection of exotic sonic insects found breeding in machines we have yet to invent. The best cuts fuse the two sides of Takemura's psyche: simple melodies anchor fetching tunes while the beats and noises go gaga. So the comfy chords of \"Anemometer\" disintegrate into a percussive medley of ceramic tiles and alien xylophones, while the quaint little melody of \"Sign\" snakes through a world of ruined drum boxes, \"Stephen Hawking sings!\" and distorted R2-D2 scat. Look for the accompanying remix version of \"Sign.\" --Erik Davis\n\nProduct Description\n\nNobukazu Takemura\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 790377009422\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0790377009422\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 70094\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46807863001347,"sku":"U9-LCA9-KMS0","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/81Ssz85HW7L.jpg?v=1746720584","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/hoshi-no-koe","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
