Primal Forms

British electronic pioneer Sam Shackleton teams with Polish jazz clarinettist Wacław Zimpel for a mesmerizing, ritualistic collaboration. The album consists of three lengthy, slow-building compositions that weave Zimpel's virtuosic, heavily processed woodwind loops over Shackleton's deeply tribal, hypnotic percussion. It functions as a complex, trance-inducing descent into avant-garde ambient dub.
