Absolutely incredible! One of my favorite albums ever. The subtle rhythms / percussion textures is perfect – something to aspire to.
i don’t know about this one…
Yeah Mike speaks the truth. The percussion textures are extraordinary and truly other-worldy but also very much grounded in our own natrual expanse. Creates more of a real “space” (or “place”) than a lot of other experimental music I’ve heard these days.
Such an amazing album. Try to find it on vinyl (not hard, and also you’re supporting an actual, you know, store), because the artwork is great. All his stuff on EG is really special and unique music, and very good for the summer as well ! And worth the physical copies and effort (?) to go find it.
any chance for a reup ?
the only version i can find online is just one long track and i noticed this is separate ones ?
yes it’s me being lazy …
