“A World I Give” (f/ Ryuichi Sakamoto) / “As Old Roads” / “Sometimes”
Sometimes (out 11.13 on Western Vinyl)
Judging from these three tracks, prolific composer Keith Kenniff may be about to unleash one of the finest albums of the fourth quarter. The Berklee College of Music graduate’s beautiful, contemplative ambient music got the attention of legendary composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who lends his golden fingers to the stirring “A World I Give.” Its melody is both graceful and angular, and its cinematic quality makes it near impossible to close your eyes without picturing a scene in your head. Like most ambient music, these songs will probably sound even better in the context of the album, which is one that I’m dying to hear.
