Album Notes & Community Reviews
Craig Leon's 'Nommos' translates speculative ideas about ancient alien culture into a minimalist electronic language. The album's sequenced pulses and ritualistic melodic cells were later reevaluated as an early private-press example of American minimal synth and ambient-adjacent composition.
