Truly I am blessed. With the new installment in the Four Pieces series out on Smallfish this week as well as the wonderful Engaged Touches a couple of weeks back we’re now treated to another simply awesome release from Celer. Dragon’s Eye is a tremendous label so it’s a real pleasure to be able to bring you this 50 minute work – and it’s a beauty in every way. Celer’s ability to subtly shift their sound from release to release is a skill that I admire. Dragon’s Eye is much more of a minimalist imprint than some of their recent labels and her you get to enjoy at quite possibly their deepest and most stripped back. The resonant atmospheres within Breeze of Roses are superb and it’s one of those pieces of music that gradually builds and flows into several distinct parts. As ever there’s a sense of melody that pervades every moment of this work, but it’s joined by a creeping dissonance that brings into stark relief. Over the course of the album you’ll be gently massaged, lightly challenged and totally invigorated. Another brilliant release from this exceptional duo.
