Reviewed 2007-08-02
Two ~15 minute tracks, sides of LP transferred to digital, hypnotic surreal shimmering drone concocted entirely through the use of treated “unplayed” guitar. Australian artist known for taking an electric guitar and treating its tones using objects, e-bows, etc, creating lush soundscapes with this simple formula. Both tracks build, ebb, flow and are spectacular. I saw god when I played the first side.

1) (sideA) percussive cymbal tapping with lovely background drone, very long fade-out/ending
2) (side B) similar to A except the percussiveness is upon the open strings of a guitar
