(4/5)
Four tracks of fairly subtle, almost ambient noise. This is a good listen if you are in a quiet environment with a nice system. Don’t try it in your car.
The release is a numbered limited edition of 56 packaged in a CD case with an original photo from an arson investigation. Mine has what looks like it may have been a radio or something – a rusted metal husk with some wires and a transformer inside.
Track list:
- The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple
- What do you do with a Drunken Sailor? (Maritime I)
- Lucite
- The Wire
This is excellent music to zone out to, or while you are working. It does not demand attention, but does reward it.
