Play this at low volume the drones are barely audible, more something to feel. Played loud your insides start shaking all over. So do the cups on the table. More noisy then your average Phill Niblock, but with the same intensity. Listen on headphones and you are in a time machine.
All sense is lost.
So now that I've got that over with I'll just carry on with my imaginary review again. This makes them items in themselves and this particular one struck me as being the strangest yet. Recordings of Temple Gamelans and demonstrations of African instruments are sandwiched between short audio photographs and longer pieces by some of the regular composers whose work appears on Touch and it's various related labels. I'm not too keen on Gamelans, me. There are two pieces from 'the legendary' Chris Watson, who achieved some success with his previous full-length CD 'Stepping Into The Dark', a collection of field recordings from around the planet.
