Comment: (Mikel) Lauki is a Basque-artist (born in Pamplona) who is residing in Barcelona at the moment. His 5-track issue is a melancholic, glittering whole travelling down along with emotive cello chords which in turn are backed up by treated electronics and epic acoustics mixed environment. It involves uplifting crescendos and sublime shuffle of chords. Sometimes it is more experimental, sometimes more poppy thereby reminding even of Penguin Cafe Orchestra. In a word, it is highly pictureque by its expressionistic touch and approach.
