Album Notes & Community Reviews

Steven Wilson's dark ambient project utilizes heavily manipulated 78rpm vinyl records and primitive electronic testing equipment. The resulting soundscape is an incredibly eerie, haunting exploration of drone and early tape music, conceptually rooted in the phenomenon of electronic voice phenomena.
