元コクトーツインズでギタリスト兼プロデューサーのguthrie、そしてBrian Enoと共にアンビエントを世界に知らしめたピアニストbuddという偉大な音楽家による夢のコラボレートが実現しました！壮大でゆらゆらとしたギターのフィードバックと漂うピアノ。今まで2人が培ってきた音楽性が緩やかに融合していく様を垣間見れる作品となっています。同時にリリースされたもう1枚のアルバムとは曲が呼応するように作られており、ジャケットの融合性など含めかなりコンセプチュアルな意図も感じられます。ドラマティックでエモーショナルなサウンドがおぼろげな空気に溶け込んでいく白昼夢サウンド。

ecorded during the same time and issued on the same day as After the Night Falls, Before the Day Breaks is not radically different from its sister release. In fact, it might take a few plays of both discs to make some kind of distinction. They are equally meditative and engaging, based around heavy treatments of Robin Guthrie's guitar and Harold Budd's piano. The closer, "Turn on the Moon," is a relatively bombastic and overloaded piece involving a drum machine, crashing sonics, and even some added acoustic guitar from Guthrie. Otherwise, this follows the same format as After the Night Falls -- all eerily comforting and equally suited for passive background listening and complete absorption. Cynics and casual fans will find these albums indistinguishable from one another and possibly the remainder of each artist's past. More attentive followers will know better. ~ Andy Kellman|
