Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply hypnotic masterpiece of experimental ambient minimalism, 'Private Parts' centers on Robert Ashley's incredibly soft, softly rhythmic spoken-word meditations regarding consciousness and memory. Backed beautifully by 'Blue' Gene Tyranny's serene piano lines, the album constructs a profoundly calming, remarkably ethereal, and deeply peaceful sonic environment.
