Steffen Basho Junghans

SBJThe latest Album Late Summer Morning of Berlin based Guitar Maestro rings on an early summer morning, a complimentary soundtrack to this Sunday just risen, while Basho twitches and tingles, moods rise and fall, awkward fluidity, giving way to streams clearly voiced and angled, either twelve-strings or six-strings strong. Voices of his predecessors (John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Kottke) ring true, but upon further listens it becomes fresh and the similarities fall far away. It starts with the Albums title track clocking and meandering at 22 minutes giving me just enough time for a coffee, a sit back, and a listen with the morning's streams flooding, and enjoy the flow of blood and dirge as the day begins. While SBJ himself with restrained and broken Guitarfragmentations on earlier Albums like Landscapes In Exile and Unknown Music wants to gain distance from being refered to Faheys old 60s Label Takoma, the dreamdroney soundletters of Late Summer Moring give the most elegant companion to rise on a day like this. :: Late Summer Morning - Strange Attractors/A-Musik.
