hands upon black earth
performed by hands upon black earth (hands upon black earth, 2005), 1 hour 4 mins
The enlightened-yet-sleek Hands Upon Black Earth flows effortlessly and—for the most part—serenely, but has enough bite and back end to keep the overall mood energetic and upbeat.

The enlightened-yet-sleek Hands Upon Black Earth flows effortlessly and—for the most part—serenely, but has enough bite and back end to keep the overall mood energetic and upbeat. Luminous little flourishes of Eastern and Middle eastern vocals drift in and out of solid, sensual beats, perfectly illustrating what breakbeat has in common with world's complex polyrythms. Standout instrumental/ambient vocal tracks include "Inspiral" and "Kalimayantra," but there are also some really strong vocal-driven tracks too. "Ghost Song" is a beautifully melancholy trip-hop track featuring Sharon Knight on vocals, and graceful countermelodies sung in Hindi, while "Otherside," is a subtly torchy song that alludes the group's early Massive Attack influences. "Divindei" and "Lastime" provide the album's most driving and darkly mystical moments, while "Priest" ends things on a hypnotic, spirtual note.

Description
After relocating to Berlin from his native Panama, Ernesto Schnack started exploring his various influences through his acoustic guitar. The music that came out is a unique blend of fingerstyle guitar, rock, classical and ethnic rhythms.
The music ranges from soft and bittersweet, to powerful and aggressive, but always moody, suggestive and enrapturing.
A Work in Progress is the result of an artist finding his sound.
