Various Artists – Kanshin
It’s a kind of a reviewers no-go to write something like “If you buy only two albums this year, let it be these”.
But in fact, if I could only recommend two albums to you, I’d recommend these two 2-CD compilation sets.
One is “For Nihon“ – curated by Keith ‘Goldmund’ Kenniff and his wife Hollie. This set has been available as digital download for some time, but I’ll be reviewing this later as I have to wait for the physical CD to arrive.
The other is called “Kanshin” and has been released this week.
Both these double CD-set present an unbelievable array of contemporary artists contributing their music to help raise money for the current recovery in Japan following March’s terrible earthquake.
