Album Notes & Community Reviews
The experimental electronic duo constructs a series of sonic portraits dedicated to controversial historical figures, utilizing highly specific, thematic field recordings for each subject. It includes bizarre sound sources such as cow uteruses and laser printers, continuing their tradition of conceptual musique concr猫te. The record is both intellectually dense and surprisingly playful.
