{"product_id":"4582561399237","title":"Johnny Nash Point of Entry Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nA masterpiece of future ambient music has been born, exploring an imaginative and ideal \"personal folk music\" by combining elements of traditional acoustic music with a rich and immersive interpretation of ambient music. This is the sixth album overall and the Japanese debut of the talented Jonny Nash, who also works with Gigi Masin and Young Marco as part of the ambient group Gaussian Curve and is the founder of the label Melody As Truth, which continues to release high-quality works. This album, following \"Point of Entry,\" builds upon the folk traditions that Nash has been exploring in recent years (collaboration with Teguh Permana on \"Poe\" in 2020 and collaboration with Suzanne Kraft on \"A Heart So White\" in 2021), while demonstrating a clear musical evolution. Across 11 captivating tracks, Nash gently turns his compass inward, abandoning conceptual frameworks and exploring an imaginative and idealized \"personal folk music\" that combines elements of traditional acoustic music with the rich and immersive interpretation of ambient music he has been developing for over a decade. The album is crafted using a stream-of-consciousness approach to composition and recording, with Nash often starting with his favorite instrument: the guitar, often with atmospheric effects. Throughout, his delicate and evocative playing takes center stage, with melodic lines and fingerpicked refrains painting auditory images that resonate with positive yet meditative energy. From the blissful, veiled acid folk of \"Theories\" and \"Eternal Life\" to the layered acoustic guitar of \"All I Ever Needed\" and the delayed, Durutti Column-esque \"Light From Three Sides,\" a diverse range of musical textures are woven throughout the album. \"Point of Entry\" is more than just a \"guitar album,\" employing a rich and diverse palette to achieve its purpose. In \"Ditto\" and \"Light From Three Sides,\" Joseph Shabason's delicate saxophone, a talent in the contemporary ambient jazz scene, soars. The dancing synth sequences in \"Ditto\" and \"Golden Hour\" reflect Nash's work with Gigi Masin and Young Marco at Gaussian Curve. Nash's reverb-laden vocals also make their first appearance since the critically acclaimed 2016 album \"Exit Strategies,\" and are used subtly throughout the album, evoking a world of golden light at dusk. Blending the delicate humanity and simplicity of early Melody As Truth with a broader scope and vision, \"Point Of Entry\" is undoubtedly Nash's most accomplished work to date, a masterpiece of future ambient music, and a declaration of his \"personal folk\" vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53227100832053,"sku":"4582561399237","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/5966\/5973\/files\/51JdpnpeR6L._AC.jpg?v=1785377702","url":"https:\/\/tokyojapancdshop.com\/products\/4582561399237","provider":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
