This is Paulo Angeli's fifth release, this time with ex-After Dinner, ex Volupuk violinist and singer Takumi Fukushima. A high quality, hi-fidelity concert performance in which Paulo and Takumi deliver an impressively well integrated, complex - and largely composed - programme of sharply focused pieces, making the most of their not inconsiderable talents and, somehow, managing to sound like a much larger ensemble. In part, this is sheer virtuosity and, in part, it's the exoticism of the instrumentation - in particular, the sonorities of Paulo's extended, customised, prepared Giant Sardinian guitar, which does extraordinary, chameleonic work as bass, chord accompaniment, melody instrument, viola, cello, and sometimes percussion. There are some palpable After Dinner atmospheres here, but mostly the music occupies its own ambiguous, highly convincing, cultural space. High definition, highly nuanced, work. It's hard to believe they're concert recordings.
