Slow-moving improvs pitting acoustic guitar with darkly abstract electronics, with Wadada Leo Smith's trumpet adding restrained color on top. Occasional spoken female voice. Atmospheric, often heavy and dark. Like a bleak landscape. Many tracks start quiet but build quickly. 1- Calm guitar flow with increasing menace 2- Abstract rumble, gets fast/loud 3- Noisy, artsy. 4- Slow electronic swoops like evil ghosts. Crisp trumpet. 5- Develops into a huge menacing sound, glacial 6- Sparse "industrial" start; one long tone ends it 7- Vocal recitation, then slow trumpet. Ending trails for a while 8- Fuzzy buzzing, female speaking. Insistent; lots of electronics. 9- Cavernous punches over calm flow. Quiet buzz to start. 10- Fancy dancing trumpet/guitar near the end. Quiet start. 11- Quiet bells, then thundering bubbly (slow) wrath 12- Spare squalls, into slow buzzy machine stomping 13- Slowly jazzy trumpet lead, a hip lyricism 14- Slow, sparse, dark. Electronic washes end it. | ||
