Album Notes & Community Reviews

'The Marriage of True Minds' is an incredibly dense, highly conceptual experimental electronic album based entirely on telepathy experiments. The duo conducted sensory deprivation sessions with subjects, asking them to transmit the concept of the new album, and then used the subjects' verbal descriptions to generate the record's avant-garde soundscapes. It is a wildly unpredictable, cerebral mixture of IDM, noise collage, and surrealist audio art.
