"It was a leap from Wave Field into pure electronic resonance. I had become acquainted with Alvin Lucier’s I Am Sitting In A Room a few years before and it remained a touchstone that inspired this album more than any other."

Argh, that's @spennyt.bsky.social on Collapsing Drums! Apologies.

Though @darylworthington.bsky.social's profile on Weston Olencki (who has a stunning new album coming out 19 Sep on @ooutsidetimee.bsky.social) in the new issue is very much worth reading, too!

I wrote about the new reissue of Stars of the Lid' 'Music for Nitrous Oxide' for @thequietus.com Every SOTL record is special, but this one is perhaps the strangest. Some thirty years later, it sounds just as transfixingly odd and eerily beautiful. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
