NATURAL TIMBRE

Here´s another fantastic Howe album... All the songs are acoustic, but he can make them very different one from each other, using Mandolin, Banjo, several acoustic guitars, violin(played by Anna Palm). The whole album is very calm, perfect for reading, and he makes blues(Intersection Blues, IMO the best track), Jazz(Dream River), and ambient music ( Distant Seas)... The disc has songs for all my moods. The Yes songs, IMO are all excelent: Your Move´s extremely beautiful melody is made better, and the recorders are amazingly calm and soft; Disillusin(From Starship Trooper) is outstanding, very emotive; To Be Over is a masterpiece, IMO, with amazing Glockenspiel, and a totally different atmosphere from the original. They are all as good as the originals, or perhaps better... I´d give it 4,5 stars, but I can´t, so it´s4. If you admire Steve Howe, and/or like acoustic guitar, buy it now.
