About this album

Updated: 29/07/2008

«"The times, they are a-changin'".

The new musical outfit of Daniel Catarino (also known as Landfill) brings dust to our footsteps and its consequent footprints.

It may not be deliberate but the first of the two volumes from this new adventure carries the smell and feel of Ry Cooder.

Throughout its six chapters, Daniel Catarino builds a sand map, drawing richly detailed landscapes. Long Desert Cowboy is, so to speak, a landscape architect who respects the immediate in spite of the project at hand.

In "Bee 7" he still walks in the land of dreams (crossed by messages from unidentified beings) and imagination, but from "$$$" onwards, Daniel Catarino puts his foot outside and delivers five moments of rare beauty: to that end he uses guitars in distant lands, keyboards and sounds snatched from real life.

Here and from the beginning to the end of 'Sandshoes', this is the vision of deep western America from the perspective of a portuguese. A trip worth taking.» - André Gomes

psychedelic post-western spaghetti or something

I've been exploring the works of this Daniel Catarino guy, and this one was still missing, and I must say it doesn't disappoint. Although kind of in the same wave as his Landfill work "Panorama de uma Vida Normal", this EP is a great ambient/soundtrack release, and it just lacks a bit of more of that western-spaghetti touch to it. "Face in the Sand" is amazing, though sound quality could be better. I'm really surprised with this guy. Nice finding.

Très-Bon Album ! Very-good Album !

Un album très calme, peut être même un peu trop (c'est pas vraiment mon genre mais je suis curieuse) j'ai l'impression d'avoir écouter un peu tout le temps le même morceaux, ce qui n'empêche que l'album est propre Il faudrait l'avis des amateurs de ce style

Very minimalistic

This album sounds like a demo, semi-finished work, like a sketched background for voice or solo instruments. E.g. "Face in the Sand" evokes Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine" but ends without anything happened.

minimalistic guitar ambient sound

Don't expect any great gestures or bombastic sound here. It's just guitar in the desert ambience, reverb, sometimes keyboards and ambient soundscape. Very calm and flighty, sometimes a little dark, but not _very_ special. The ambience itself doesn't always fit what I think of "desert", sometimes it's like in an small back road in a rainy city. Nothing for impatient people. Unfortunately there are annoying pop and wind sounds where ambience has taken space...
