I saw Gonzales support Feist in London a few months back, and had searched for the album for a long time. Alogn the way I'd stumbles across his other work where the music was much more upbeat and experimental, which confused me slightly, but when I eventually got hold of this, it was very, very much worth the wait.

A radical departure from previous releases, 'Solo Piano' finds Gonzales stripping away all the clever layering and production of "Uber Alles" or "Z" to deliver an album that shows his talent at its peak with minimal technical wizardry.

From start to finish, I was amazed by the standard of Gonzales' piano skills. Far surpassing the talents of any contemporary composers I've encountered, the melodies Gonzales has constructed in 'Solo Piano', and the delicacy of the album as a whole is something that I can't get across in writing. It is such a fluent and flawless piece of work that glides by so effortlessly that it feels immediately like a body of work that has been important for decades.

At once melancholy and uplifting, each and every piece of music here holds its own. And if this makes sense, I have never heard somebody be able to make a piano sound witty before. Gonzales brings the piano to life, gives it a real personality, and takes the listener along on a journey that may be 'solo piano', but leaves you feeling like you've made a good friend along the way.

As a long time Gonzales fan his piano music as featured on this album was a bit of a departure. If you've got his first album 'Gonzales Uber Alles' you'll be familiar with his gentle way with a keyboard melody. But Solo Piano strips this down to the bare bones - ivories if you prefer.

This collection brings to mind old black and white French film scores, and in particular Eric Satie. The keyboard clicks are all there in the production, which sounds warm and 'live'. It's arguably background music - and is good for that. But stick headphones on, or sit in front of your speakers in a dark room, and it sends you to a quiet reflective place. Very meditative.

It was on the recommendation of Dylan Jones (editor of GQ and author of Ipod Therefore I Am) in a Sunday newspaper supplement, that I found this music. Thank you, Dylan. And I didn't even think I liked 'classical' music. I was mesomorised when I heard it, in a way that I haven't felt since I sat transfixed at the end of the piano stall, whilst my father played Chopin. My wife, Jane, just said "I can't see how anyone could fail to like this". This is the best musical discovery we've made for ages.
