The Seal of the Blue Lotus

Robbie Basho applies classical Indian ragas and Japanese scales to the twelve-string acoustic guitar on this early Takoma Records release. The steel-string fingerpicking utilizes open tunings to build droning, meditative instrumentals that expand the structural boundaries of American Primitivism.
