Radio show comments : "Very good folk s/sw album. Track 4, "Island Child" has (slightly forced) very emotional & sad female vocals. The same vocalist sings on the 8th track which continues in a beautiful instrumental (2 clarinets and piano). The dual vocals on "the cloud of.." with acoustic guitar and clarinet and harmony vocals are very beautiful too. A very fine album."

PS. If someone's interested, I have a spare copy of this LP.

Round Music Kim Eui-Cheol : Song collection / Norae Moem (SK,1974re.2004)***°'

Compared to nearly all song music from around this time, which often tends to choose safe music with mainstream associations and several song covers, this is the real, directly inspired songwriter based thing, with rather melancholic, sincere qualitative songs with beautiful acoustic pickings, often distant backing female vocals and clarinet, or with second picking guitar. The album stays with you very easily and it is recommended. The third and eight song are with the female singer to the fore and the male voice only with some baritone humming along. Her voice cries and vibrated deeply with emotion as if to cry out the melancholy. Only the 7th track is a bit more up-tempo, with the same instruments and voices. The ninth track is a beautiful instrumental by piano and two clarinets.
