Shima
A World Without Music

Instrumentals that are dark and pensive. Very lonely. Almost an apocalyptic ambience but not in a violent or chaotic way, quite the opposite, with highly delicate moments such as the piano driven “Careless Flight”. This is cinematic music that would very much suit as a backdrop or soundtrack to the right film or pictures, the album’s title and planetary landscapes very much suiting the sound. Echoes of Massive Attack can be heard but only as very loose ballpark references, this music is unusual to say the least. The phrasing and tones of the keys, guitars and synths mix, blend and clash simultaneously. If you’re into instrumental music, scores and soundtracks then seek this one out. - Brent Strathdee, Rip It Up
