“Fontana,” lead track of “Caliban & The Chrome Harmonium,” the piano/keyboard instrumental album recorded circa 1992-2000. (mp3 attached)
“Caliban” originally released to only a few (literally) individuals, later to become more accessible.
Given Nelson’s volume of productivity, I tend to carve off the tracks I want to hear all the time and to disrespect albums as wholes.
“Caliban” is an album I would never disturb, reduce, or redistribute.
Utterly coherent and absolutely different from any other Nelson creation. A complete embrace of minimally-adorned, transfixing melodies, delivered with great feeling and nuance by Nelson as keyboardist.
“Caliban” is so playful and so moving in its frequent turns, and it is as ambitiously “naked” as Nelson ever allowed himself to be, arguably.
I hold it close and play it frequently, end to end.
