James Blackshaw – The Cloud Of Unknowing

February 14, 2009 · 1 Comment

James Blackshaw plays a 12-string acoustic guitar and makes a big sound. This track (from album of same name) comes a 14th century book that explains the best way to love and serve God is to simplylive and experience and not try and understand everything and seek knowledge.

It’s a nice thought, though not one I generally agree with as a staunch atheist and believer in reason. This music does however sound quite reverential, religious in a way, a good way. It’s repititive, though not boring and puts you in a trance-like state.
