Highly recommended.

Reissued for the first time on vinyl Manuel Mota's "1 - 7" is another beautiful gem from the Portuguese experimental guitarist's career.

A solo guitar record where once again the instrument is stripped from its most recognizable face, a slow descent into abstract textures and microtonalism where haunting melodies slowly creep up behind.

Eerie, mysterious and completely alien, a collection of tracks that stretch time, confound and dazzle, opening portals into the unknown. Mastered by Tako Unami and artwork by longtime collaborator Margarida Garcia, '1 - 7' is maybe one of Mota's most emotional releases, a night-time hallucinatory warm companion, woozy and enchanting.

Subtle feedback and residual shreds of melody make for a ghostly voyage, loner psychedelia that travels far and wide. 

"You can hear exactly why Derek Bailey spoke so highly of Mota: the guitarist has quite simply created a world of his own." The Wire
