Toop utters almost whispered spoken-word texts over incredible ambient and environmental music by artists like Bill Laswell, Scanner, Paul Schutze, Jon Hassell, Witchman, Talvin Singh and many others. Narrations of intense and relevant dreams. Science-fiction and tribal legends transformed into personal, popular myth. The sound is similar at points to Paul Schutzes 'Surgery Of Touch' combined with Thomas Koners 'Tiemo' - vibrant, earthy, narcotic and light. A thick booklet has every text transcribed, with artwork and other detailed liner notes.
Languid drones resonate for seconds and dissipate.
One track is either the snapping of fire or the distant crinkling of paper bits found in a parking lot. Bernard Gunter is less active, more pure, but not nearly as fun or surreal. This sort of great microscopic sound study makes it easy to imagine many things. Even the record cover is only studded here and there with occasional tiny pictures. Just like the music.
