The Glass Bead Game is the most forward-thinking and sublimely executed of James Blackshaw's releases to date.
-
90At the piano bench for the poignant ballad 'Fix' and the stunning, assured finale 'Arc,' Blackshaw makes you forget all about his guitar and your earthly cares.
-
Parts of Litany were pretty but kind of dull, and The Glass Bead Game is similarly afflicted. Blackshaw's easy development seems to have reached a plateau.
