Harlassen - A Way Now 2006



Harlassen is a weird and very cool band (as someone made the remark, it's one of many names under which Richard Skelton performs, so it's a one man band!), and the music is not easy to describe! To me the ambiance they create is very reminiscent of those found in Ravi Shankar's, the indian sitar master. However there's nothing like a sitar on this album, and the music is mainly made up with piano, violin and an acoustic guitar, but they manage to create hypnotic and drifting percussive melodies that are really worth hearing! enjoy!
