![Cleemann: Ambitious (Spejderrobot Remix) [mp3 review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2773965_lg.jpg)
When Cleemann , a Danish folk experimentalist of immense and uncontested talent, released last year's 45 Minutes Mostly About Caring , everyone who heard it instantly fell in love with the highlight cut "Ambitious". It was a track that everyone could relate to, feel for, and become entranced in its mesmerizing and simple complicity. And over a year later, it is still receiving daily praise.

I was immeadiately struck by the title and cover art of this obscure little album I received in the mail the other day. An old man holding two seashells up to his ears, with an intent look upon his face, as if he was trying to hear the universe. The title simply reads 45 Minutes Mostly About Caring. After a completely shit-tastic Monday I need caring. And I'll take about 45 minutes of it. And

Written by Fense I'm calling it a pReview , as Cleemann 's release of 45 Minutes Mostly About Caring is not slated for official release until February 2009 at the earliest - a promo release featuring the cover below (by Franz Jacobi) was sent out in a limited batch in 2007 and 2008. Word on the street is that Series II Records , currently one of the best CD-R labels in the states, is planning a state-side release around 45 Minutes . [...]
