(2017) Variations On «Violin Phase»

Guest Host hypnotic... going back through past releases, appreciating them even more now, and continuing to find myself surprised by how many ways there are to express (a type of) silence Favorite track: Movement III.

Nick Lowe Don't expect any recognisable residue of the Reich original in this latest gem from the vaults, which just sounds like pure 100% finest Grassow. If you're bothered by an obtrusive bow-scraping noise on one channel (left on track 1, right on 2–3), try different headphones; it's insistent in some but disappears completely in others, in a way that doesn't seem to correlate with headphone quality.
