    5 out of 5 stars No language barriers to great music.......2002-10-16

    I do not speak Japanese, but it doesn't matter. Aiko Shimada's voice is hauntingly beautiful, her guitar work solid, and the story that she unfolds for the listener transcends any language barrier. She knows just how to apply emotion and rhythm, pauses and flow to her lyrics to create seemingly perfect moods from one track to the next.

    With guest artists - like Eyvind Kang (violin, viola) and Bill Frisell (electric guitar) - lending their immense talents, there is unique depth to every track. Compositionally, each song offers something all its own that still manages to mesh flawlessly with the whole. Kang's work here is especially noteworthy, as he lends poignancy, mystery, subtlety and beauty with even the sparest of notes, and plays off Shimada's vocals as if they shared a psychic link.

    Simply put, Blue Marble is a treasure perfect for rainy autumn evenings and sunny spring mornings alike. I still can't believe my good fortune at finding it. It's one of my all-time favorite recordings.

    5 out of 5 stars Untapped talent from Seattle via Japan.......2001-11-04

    If you want something that's unique and powerful, purchase this. Aiko Shimada comes from Japan, but has made Seattle her home in the last few years. I came to her from a magazine clipping, which said she was "jazz with a Japanese voice". While there are some jazz stylings, her music is much more than that. If anyone remembers a band from the early 90's called Ether, this is what BLUE MARBLE sounds like. Relaxing, soothing music with an edge not found in today's popular music, which is good because I don't think the world is ready for someone as bright as Shimada. DJ Olive appears on this as well.

    4 out of 5 stars It's a Tzadik record, but don't expect avantguarde.......2001-08-18

    It's a set of nice, very female, very personal songs. Usually, the japanese music series on Tzadik features artists, who want to break boundries, but Aiko Shimada doesn't want to break anything, she rather want's to build a gentle sound world of her own. It's a successfull attempt, the record is enjoyable, it contains great string arrangements and orchestrations by Eyvind Kang and some little, ambient sounds by special guest Bill Frisell.

    5 out of 5 stars Cool Title........2001-08-04

    Blue Marble is an exellent album. This did not surprise me, because I own several of Aiko's other cds and have come to expect unique, well thought out compositions from her. This cd quickly became one of my favorites. I highly recommend it.

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Magical Album!.......2001-06-19

    I had heard one of her songs on a local NYC radio program and bought the cd on the strength of that one song. I am THRILLED that I did. I was more than pleasantly surprised when I heard the entire cd... hauntingly beautiful melodies, sweet yet moody, the atmosphere is kind of reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins, but Aiko's voice is deeper and smoother. A consistently mellow mood throughout the entire album, but not in the least boring like a lot of slow music can be. Although this album is classified under the "folk" category, it's *not* folk. It's so much more than that, and I think people probably just don't know how to classify it. This is the most unique album I have purchased in quite some time, I'll be listening to it over and over. I highly recommend it.

        Product Description

        Chapter 13, who started off life as Marble Index, know this as much as anyone, and, on the excellent The World From Heaven album, the duo of Paul Rothwell and James Slattery bring said world to wonderful life once again. The reference points are obvious and open throughout, the same way the underrated American duo Romania did a few years prior to this album's release. Every musical note comes from keyboards and drum machines, and there's not a guitar in sight, and Rothwell's enjoyably lugubrious semi-moan perfectly offsets the sweet synth melodies in just about every track.

        4 out of 5 stars Nice followup!.......2001-04-21

        This second "Sagittarius" outing is quite different from its "Present Tense" predecessor; it's less orchestrated, earthier, and with a decidedly more mature bent. Long hard to get on LP--and unavailible on CD--this has finally been reissued (NOT from tape, unfortunately, but from LP...kinda inevitable, I guess) with a few nice bonus tracks. Like the first one, listen before you buy, but tracks like "Gladys" are well worth the purchase.

        I knew that right after I plunked down the $... for the Japanese reissue of this album, Poptones would reissue it themselves. Bah.

        In any case...

        Blue Marble is, and let's establish this right off the bat, *very* different from Present Tense; gone are the latter's more trippy leanings, and Blue Marble as a whole tends more towards what I saw one reviewer call a "spiritual earthiness." It also, in my opinion, isn't quite as strong as Present Tense, although Gary Usher (and this IS Gary Usher's project...Boetccher isn't nearly as involved as he was before) manages to still turn out an impressive piece of work. By the way, if this is anything like the Japanese issue of the CD (and since it shares a tracklisting, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the discs are exactly the same), it's taken from record, NOT from the master tapes...which disappointed me further. If you're looking for something like Present Tense, be wary, but Blue Marble (along with Gladys, and its other VERY well-thought-out tunes) is a worthy purchase in and of itself.

              Americanized Carribean/Folk music.
              Sansoel has a beautiful soprano voice.
              The songs are simple and melodic.
