Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under a complex fictional persona of a retired Serbian factory worker, the brilliant Italian synthesist Guido Zen delivers a gorgeously overwhelming ambient masterclass. The heavily processed album utilizes heavily modified Farfisa organs and modular equipment to build impossibly slow, emotionally devastating waves of dense drone and celestial noise. It is widely considered an immensely beautiful, profoundly healing high-water mark of modern drone music.
