Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

The atmospheric brilliance displayed by the unexpected is such that when it hits you, when it finds you gasping for breath in the wake of its unmistakeable majesty, it leaves all that you may have become used to, floundering under the weight of your pre-conceived ideas.

Such is the presence created by Jake Shimabukuro and his ukulele, the pleasure that bounds forth is not only atmospheric, it positively invokes the passion found in the realm of imagination and asks the listener to embrace the fundamental essence of tone, mood and musical environment; a point of maintain the healthy respect to which art and the ability to appreciate are the twin pillars of civilisation.
