El primer tema The Case for... y especialmente el último Hattusha me parecen escepcionales. Hattusha es pura poesía emocional, sublime.
Favorite track: Hattusha.
With POV2 : The Case For Square Waves While Searching For Happy Accidents Peter Grenader, Steve Roach and Miles Richmond have ushered a new departure from their first release, returning to their Westcoast minimalist roots while testing a wide pallet of sonic possibilities - from ethereal timbral pastures to biting, hard hitting fury.
The thrust of POV was to sculpt a multi-timbral sonic landscape forged from a confluence of sound sources, The sonic food chain began from a core of electric and processed guitar via a modular synthesizer equipped with both standard and granular sampling capability. The infusions of flute and acoustic piano are on tap for further boundary pushing as are a few essential analog synths both virtual and vintage. Ultimately it's about the music itself, The point of view provided here is yours to experience, open to a myriad of interpretations.
Guest artists include Thighpaulsandra, Theo Travis and Martin Shellard,

This is an outstanding collaboration, so far one of my favorite releases this year! BTW, be sure to check out Frank Beissel's own Bandcamp page, and his album Random Abstractions - so far, it's one of the best kept secrets of the year. mysticwolf75
