Awe-inspiring record by the talented Tom Gilbert.
'Aegean Clouds' must have been channeled from a very high place :)
Astoundingly beautiful timbres and melodies.
This guy is my absolute favourite artist at the moment. Martin Grafton
The whole album is amazing. Empires is, overall, my favorite ... (1) Because it's extra quirky (2) It's the longest track on the album ... and I like long tracks.
Whole album is great, though. 5/5 stars. 10/10.... all we need is more of Shima!
And, I think, a trio collaboration between John Shima, Derek Carr and, of course, Mr Rutter himself would be extra special :) simplybeourselves
