Touted in the late 1960s as a promising British folk artist, singer/songwriter Vashti Bunyan faded into obscurity after her 1970 debut, JUST ANOTHER DIAMOND DAY. Encouraged by that record's warmly received 2000 reissue and a growing number of admiring young artists--including Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and Adem--Bunyan unveiled a new album in 2005, aided by the aforementioned performers. The result is a warm, inviting set of songs that showcases Bunyan's delicate voice and, like much of Nick Drake's work, succeeds in being spare and lush at the same time.

Magnet (pp.87-88) - "LOOKAFTERING softly plucks and clearly enunciates its bell-toned intentions."
The Wire (p.57) - "As an atmospheric shot of temporally dislocated folk spirit, it sits perfectly alongside JUST ANOTHER DIAMOND DAY."
Dirty Linen (p.55) - "Amazingly, her voice, songwriting, and arrangements have remained virtually untouched, and the magic is still there."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.63) - Ranked #33 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2005" - "[With] a pure, gauzy backdrop for solemn ruminations on a grown-up, battle-scarred world."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[S]he's back, her voice a preternatural, childlike delicacy - astonishingly unaltered."

About five years after briefly surfacing as part of Andrew Loog Oldham's stable, Vashti -- now billing herself with her full name, Vashti Bunyan -- made her only album. A folkier and more serious-minded effort than her initial mid-'60s recordings, it is a pleasing yet overly dainty slice of British rock-tinged folk, produced by Joe ...

Lookaftering album

If you know his name at all, it's as one of the founding members of the legendary experimental German rock group Can. But he's been mighty busy on his own over the last few decades, collaborating with the likes of David Sylvian, Brian Eno, and Jah Wobble; he's been remixed by the Orb and U.N.K.L.E.; and he's probably the first musician ever to have applied Edgard Varese's principles of musique concrete to rock & roll (though he's certainly not the last). So with such an impressive resume, what does his first solo album in six years sound like? Well, lots of things. The first four tracks are spoken-word compositions with funky, multi-layered backing; the words that are spoken can sometimes get embarrassing in an English-as-a-second-language sort of way ("The invisible man is all around me!"), but the music is mostly very compelling. "Dancing in Wild Circles" is especially cool, with its busy percussion, "forged ethno samples" and David Byrne-esque guitar. "Atlantis" betrays a clear drum'n'bass influence, but is much more sonically and rhythmically complex. Fully half of the program is contained in "Mirage," a 22-minute long composition that sounds like equal parts Jon Hassell and African Head Charge -- that is, until it bogs down into drones about halfway through and stays bogged down for the remaining ten minutes. Still, you'll have lots of fun before getting to that soggy place. Recommended. ~ Rick Anderson
