Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded in Germany before the formation of the avant-pop group Slapp Happy, Anthony Moore's debut is a stark, captivating exploration of musical minimalism[cite: 1]. The compositions employ repetitive vocal chants, sparse piano, and delicate chamber instrumentation to create a hypnotic, avant-garde atmosphere[cite: 1]. It is widely celebrated as a visionary, early milestone in the development of European post-minimalist music[cite: 1].
