Following on from the magnificent 'Quiet City' album for KRANKY, MARK
NELSON finally returns with a new album under the PAN AMERICAN moniker.
And it's another triumph of sublime understatement!
'For Waiting, For Chasing' is an album underpinned by delicately caressed
and manipulated Flugelhorns, Tibetan Singing Bowls and Chinese Cymbals, processed,
weaved and loved into a throbbing mass of neon loveliness.
A work of calming restraint, it's really impossible to fault this
musician and his ability.
Another perfectly-formed microcosm of bliss.
As someone once wrote about a previous Pan.American album: 'The songs
don't progress so much as emerge from a substrate of silence and blank tape,
carving pale shapes out of a dark canvas'."
