Format:Audio CD
First release since 2008's Black Sea. Sublime and highly textured. Four short pieces that say more than many can say in a whole album. Liminal is an absolute joy. So emotional and up lifting. Dunno how he does it, but he combines technology with real emotion. A blues man for the 21st century? Shift moves the whole thing into another dimension.Underpinned by ON's Stephen Hess on drums, this is a real taster for the next album. Essential.

Headphone Commute Review
19 April 2012
It's time for me to catch up to my favorite releases from Touch. And what better way to kick it off then with a short four-track EP from Christian Fennesz one of the top experimental composers known for using his guitar as the source instrument in laptop aided electronic music. Anyone familiar with his work will instantly recognize the delicate attention to detail, even when the sound is submerged in slight distortion, some reverb and a little bit of flanger. Seven Stars is Fennesz's first solo release since Black Sea (Touch, 2008). The tracks incorporate the usual electric guitars, bass, and synths to paint thick layers of drony textures, and for the first time in his discography a drum kit, played by Steven Hess (Member of Locrian). "I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track," says this Vienna based sound artist. Besides his solo work, there's also his celebrated collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto - their latest, appearing on Touch as a double disk, titled Flumina. Both, this EP and the Fennesz + Sakamoto release have appeared on Headphone Commute's Best of 2011, so it's about time that they got properly mentioned on here. There's also a neat little USB flash drive release by Fennesz and Jon Wozencroft, titled Liquid Music which you can pick up from touchshop.org. Fennesz never disappoints!
