More Info
"Edle neue Compilation auf dem Seattler Label Anomalous Records- vereint einige interessante Acts aus dem konkreten wie sphrischen Minimalismus-Bereich, die auf Anomalous aktiv sind... (s.u.). Kommt mit 4 sthetischen Fotopostkarten zum Thema...
Great compilation presenting nearly all acts from the Seattle-based label. From concrete to spheric minimalism. Exclusive tracks by JEPH JERMAN, MIRROR, AGOG, CLIMAX GOLDEN TWINS, JONATHAN COLECLOUGH, MIKE SHANNON, MONOS, RICHARD LERMAN, DAVE KNOTT. Comes with 4 postcards with b/w prints of photographs by Rachael Jackson." [Drone Rec. info 2001]
While unified by a common theme, the tracks are quite varied including desert contact mic recordings of rain and wind on a tree [Jeph Jerman], processed sounds of a gate [Jonathan Coleclough], erhu played on a beach [Mike Shannon], mysterious singing 'water babies' [Agog], a mixture of wild celery stalks, tundra grass, a cord made from sinew, a whalebone roof support and the seals [Richard Lerman], and the straight recording of an approaching thunderstorm [Dave Knott]. This attention to detail in audio is matched by the close up photographs of fungi, dripping sap, and trees which surrounds it. [from the press-release]
