WALK WITH THE PENGUIN - CHARM (CD)

"Second album of Walk With The Penguin by a Japanese steelpanist Yoshio Machida and Serbian artists (ex. Cinc). The first album was regarded like "postrocktronica" (Terrascope), "Cocorosie kind of home made fun" (Folkpop reviews), "spring in your step"(Delusions of Adequacy). This 2nd album has more New Wave feeling. Recorded in Belgrade and Tokyo between March and July. Respected to spirit of some cool Yugoslavian New Wave band in 80s like Film, Aerodrom, Idoli, Paraf, etc, the sound changed to more rock beat music comparing to the first album. Based on New Wave beat, tastes from various kind of music are combined; acoustic, funk, synthpop, poetry reading. Worked with talented guest musicians: Tatsuhisa Yamamoto (Jim O'Rourke band), Paranel (cool Japanese rapper), Misha (Tomlab)." (label info)
