about

...kicks off with the trance-inducing missing link between Can and the Necks: ptarmigans, a 16 minute odyssey into cyclical drum patterns, looping bass and grinding, echoed guitar....jump-cuts into shatner's bassoon, 5 minutes of brooding percussion and electronics. Cow is slowly disintegrating military alien dub funk; all fretless bass, broken metronomic drums and distant ghostly guitar. The self explanatory dub version of the previous track takes the slow, gradual corruption of 'cow' to extremes by totally annihilating the original into a textured mass of phased, echoed, looped and panned electronic drones, rumbles and distortion (imagine Aphex's 'Windowlicker' without the beats). It segues seamlessly into the elephant charmer, the closing 11-minute abstract improvisation; shifting layers of drum machine beats, psychedelic guitar, electronics and tribal percussion. File next to The Liars' They Were Wrong So We Drowned and Black Dice's Creature Comforts. It really is THAT good!
