Album Notes & Community Reviews
Consisting of two sprawling, immersive tracks, this project continues the composer's masterful exploration of tape degradation and memory. The title track was explicitly composed as a tribute to the late David Bowie, utilizing a mournful, decaying saxophone loop to evoke a profound sense of loss. It remains a deeply melancholic, essential entry in his vast ambient catalog.
