Nothin' to Look at Just a Record

Album Notes & Community Reviews

A towering achievement in acoustic drone composition, this monumental work utilizes meticulously multi-tracked, microtonally shifting wind instruments to create immense walls of sound. Niblock's compositions completely eschew rhythm and melody, forcing the listener to focus entirely on the microscopic beat frequencies and overtones generated by the sustained, overlapping pitches. It is an essential, overwhelming text in the canon of the American post-minimalist avant-garde.
