***“GREG DAVIS’ second album for Kranky following 2004’s Somnia. Features two tracks over 51 minutes, "Cosmic Mundra" is a subtle and slowly changing circle, a sun, the sun, the moon. Not the Arpeggio Minimalists, rather: the quiet time stretchers of long tones and long tones sustained and hyper-sustained until buzz value outweighs pitch, sounds seeming to fly around the screen, hyper-spiritual with hardly a word. "Hall of Pure Bliss" is a chord and all sorts of wonderful sounds which live to its left and right. Low is left and high is right and then the travelling hisses swim on either side of this imagined keyboard in glitter-space.” (STREET DATE - 7/21/2009)

***The third album from composition and jazz scholar GREG DAVIS, and a collection of drone-oriented material Davis has been working on over the past two to three years. Each track features a single instrument (bowed psaltery, acoustic guitar, harmonica, Fender Rhodes, Magnus chord organ) played by Davis and then filtered through a computer. The tones that come out of the process bear little immediate resemblance to the instrument of origin, taking in extended and diffuse forms of their own.
