Milk \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagine you are standing on a high hill at dusk. A valley spreads out below you, a small town, a factory, trains moving in the distance. The sky above you and the land far below serve to remind you how small you are in the grand scheme. But now imagine looking down at your feet. In the grass around your shoes is a whole world of tiny beasts: worms, insects and even tinier things. To them you are impossibly huge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Daydream of shifting scale seems to fuel Kosugi Shimizu’s new record. Micromacro was produced over a few years around his main role as bassist in the excellent Mama!Milk. While an old world dust-in-a-sunbeam mood runs across the whole thing, each track shifts the scene and scale. Metropolis Rhapsodie is a Gershwin waltz across a 1940s cityscape, while Loosen Nuts, which follows it, is a workbench micro drama of clockwork toys. April Portraits recalls the backgrounds of a thousand Bugs Bunny cartoons and L’histoire D'un Homme Modeste sleepwalks through the same anytown afternoon as Ernest Hood’s Neighbourhood or Frank Sinatra’s Watertown. It’s all beautifully organised and orchestrated by a house band that could be a noirish mirror of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoods change, space collapses and time telescopes. When you find an album that can do that you have to grab it with both hands.  (Mint \/ New - with free DL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Metropolis Rhapsodie 4:20\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Loosen Nuts 2:30\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Pianista Grandioso 1:17\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Carta Del Norte 0:54\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 A Night Of Rootless Cosmopolitans 3:33\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Azul, Nocturno 3:14\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Кин-Дза-Дза 2:08\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Duet I 1:52\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 Escapement Waltz 2:15\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Vuelvo Al Norte 3:20\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 Noches Del Sur 2:32\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 Duet II, Sonoro 1:49\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13 April Portraits 2:27\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e14 Azul, Madrugada 4:05\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15 Tempo Scherzando 0:49\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16 L’histoire D'un Homme Modeste 5:42\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e17 The Last Call 2:32\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e18 April Portlaits Remixed By Gak Sato 3:18\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"386\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6eDlKuI8644\" title=\"Vuelvo al Norte\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"386\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DWw2Si6soUo\" title=\"Kosuke Shimizu／MICROMACRO [Official Trailer]\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"All Night Flight Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305677238654,"sku":"none","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/7755\/6791\/files\/IMG_5891_14926174-f9af-4968-8406-5d275d687036.jpg?v=1705405781","url":"https:\/\/allnightflightrecords.com\/products\/kosuke-shimizu-micromacro-1","provider":"All Night Flight Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
