This is a gorgeously detailed mix of acoustic instruments, fuzzy noises
and random clicks and pops, layered on top of each other and
electronically manipulated. It's a gentle, warm recording that floats
and dips effortlessly and wraps you up in its sonic blanket.
There is a percussive element to almost all of the pieces that drive
them along. Some of them are just flutters of popping, others are
slightly more chunky. You can hear some guitar and occasional live
drums in here, and there are a few found-soundish samples to make things
interesting. Imagine a lighter, less dubby Pole with a sprinkle of
melody and some Microstoria-style blips and arrangement, and you'll get
some idea of what this is about. It's also really well-mixed, giving
the whole disc enough space to breathe and live and flow.
For those of you who read about the "Solutiore Of Stareau" triple-CDR
release but weren't able to actually hear it, this is a great
distillation of the most interesting and varied disc of the three. A
terrific debut for Zammuto and Apartment B.
