2350 BROADWAY 4 (WITH TETSU INOUE)

If you are familiar with previous collaborations between Tetsu Inoue and the late Pete Namlook, this is more of the same, perhaps even a bit better. Pete may be gone, but his music lives on for us to enjoy. While previous albums in the series included extremely long- form minimal ambient works, often taking up a full disc or even two, this 4th and final addition to the 2350 Broadway canon is much more concise, delivering its musical goods in 6 bite- sized chunks ranging from 7-12 minutes in length. While I sometimes enjoy chilling for an hour-plus ambient journey from Namlook and Inoue, this fills the bill perfectly for those with shorter attention spans, or for times when you need a quick fix of subtle ambience imbued with the touches these two are known for. Highly recommended and a fitting finish to yet another excellent series from the FAX label.
