Artist:	HIRANO, GO
Title:	Reflection Of Dreams
Label:	PSF (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	PSF 071CD

2nd album for PSF, that is nearly an all-solo affair, with Hirano playing piano, pianica, organ, windchime, glockenspiel, percussion, voice. "...a compilation of 14 short tracks recorded between 1990 and 1995. There is a genuine late-night quality to most of the tracks -- delicate, almost hesitant in places, gorgeously lyrical in others -- a real contrast to the buzzing harshness of his last album. I'd almost be tempted to use the word ambient to describe a lot of this album, but that word has become particularly debased of late... and besides, there is a quality of surreal, dreamlike naivete to Hirano's works that's thousands of miles away from most purveyors of fleaty textures... puzzling, but good." --Alan Cummings.

Go Hirano (piano, pianica, glockenspiel, accordion, windchimes, thumb piano, percussion, voice, etc). "It's been a long time coming, but Go Hirano's stunning new album has finally been released. Hirano is known as a sometime White Heaven collaborator, renowned expert on Canadian psychedelia and acid folk, and ultra-sensitive sound artist. His previous two albums on PSF have wound lo-fi wisps of fragile piano melody and bell chime around nagging, sometimes subtly unsettling field recording techniques. Corridor of Daylights resurrects the absolutely exquisite instrumental palette of his second, Reflection of Dreams (PSF 071). It is a dreamy walk along insubstantial, lysergic paths where all-too breakable souls breathe shallowly and insects hum in sympathetic resonance. An almost flawless album of touching late-night psychedelics." -- Alan Cummings
