Robert Nacken - It Could Be So Easy

Great fan of the "majomin ep" and vinyl records i was annoyed of the non existence of this album in vinyl format.
Years after its release on this japanese label, i crossed El in cyberspace, this very kind and talented music creator residing in the art and music city of Kôln. one day out of some irregular discogs' direct messaging conversations i ended up mentioning my love for Robert Nacken's music and my sadness to never getting the chance to listen to this release in my format of predilection, and as i nearly never buy cds… El was so kind and send me a tape copy of the album and, it is now one of the tape i listen the most at night!

Although i first gave it a few listen and went into other sounds the tape came back inside my player and became one of my favourite and most played late night cassettes, for after a few repeated inattentive listening i realised soon after giving it more attention that Robert Nacken's new latin version of "highpriestess" is amazing, this but in fact all the pieces on this release are. The album title track is not exactly easy listening but delicate, sweet but also deep and melancholic, oh and "won't be" would be so perfect on a 12" with the original and a few additional mixes or any of Robert Nacken's new productions. Each tracks have a defined very subtle depth of their own and they are following in moods each other so smoothly that one won't even notice the hidden messages for each pieces at first. There is even some modal jazz like leaks in one and a lot of non tacky latin music feel in most. This is the kind of album that grow on you due to this elusive something. Robert Nacken as i write this is still an overlooked artist and an ignored genius (although Bernd Friedmann and Marcus Schmickler certainly know how to put to use his great value), i wish he would be permitted to release more and more of his own creations and i'll do magick if necessary to actualise that in the new aeon.
Also and again, this album still deserve a vinyl format release and i really don't understand why it hasn't yet been done in Germany or in the land of the rising zun. Home taping is long gone far from killing music and i admit i will acquire the cd if i just find it for lack of a better format (although i won't ever hunt for a cd but if a vinyl version comes out i'll order 3 or 4 copies, one for myself the other to share with friends just as El did for me in his mail-art way).

El's real name undisclosed for duplication rights issues. Thank you El, gracias Robert Nacken.
