Recording The initial impetus for making a new album came from ideas for a story EP written by keyboard player David Boulter (which became the opening track "Chocolate"), and the album was recorded in stages over the course of a year at the band's studio in France. The recording of the album was overshadowed by the deaths of several friends and family members, but the band were determined to react to the experience positively, rather than wallow in melancholia – Boulter said in an interview that "we didn't want that for the people that'd gone. It was more that the sadness gave ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chromatic Harmonica
The chromatic harmonica is a type of harmonica that uses a button-activated sliding bar to redirect air from the hole in the mouthpiece to the selected reed-plate desired. When the button is not pressed, an altered diatonic major scale of the key of the harmonica is available, while depressing the button accesses the same scale a semitone higher in each hole. Thus, the instrument is capable of playing the 12 notes of the Western chromatic scale. The chromatic harmonica can thus be contrasted with a standard harmonica, which can play only the notes in a given musical key. Famously accomplished chromatic harmonica players include classical players Larry Adler, Tommy Reilly (harmonica player), Tommy Reilly, Antonio Serrano (musician), Antonio Serrano, Sigmund Groven, and Willi Burger, jazz players Toots Thielemans, :da:Mathias_Heise, Mathias Heise, Gregoire Maret, Yvonnick Prene, Hendrik Meurkens, and William Galison, and popular musicians Norton Buffalo and Stevie Wonder.

Falling Down A Mountain
''Falling Down a Mountain'' is the eighth studio album by English rock band Tindersticks, released in 2010 on 4AD/ Constellation Records. The album peaked at number two in Greece, and achieved modest chart placings in other European countries. Critical reception The album was released to generally positive reviews. ''Drowned in Sound'' felt that Tindersticks have "created a record that certainly rivals, if not betters any of its three predecessors from the past decade". ''Pitchfork'' summed up the record by saying "it leaves a very hazy, almost spectral impression when it ends. But it's also warm and in some ways comforting, and it improves the more you listen to it and tease out the details in the songs." BBC Music described the album as "the sound of a band rediscovering themselves" and ''Uncut'' had a similar view, saying Tindersticks sounded like "a band with restored self-belief, again loving doing what they do better than anyone else".
