Album Notes & Community Reviews

Veteran minimalist composer Phill Niblock continued his lifelong exploration of sustained sound on the massive three-disc set 'Touch Three'. The extremely hypnotic, drone-based recording focuses entirely on dense layers of microtonal acoustic instrumentation, creating incredibly rich, slowly vibrating harmonic overtones.
