Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from his duties in Sonic Youth, the guitarist composed a radical experimental piece utilizing locked grooves on vinyl records to construct infinite sonic loops. 'From Here → Infinity' forces the listener into a participatory role, relying on repetitive tape manipulations and raw turntable noise. The album is a vital artifact of the late-eighties downtown New York avant-garde scene.
