ELEH/SUN CIRCLE - SPLIT - LP
imprec182 - LP - $12.99 
Essential limited edition 180 gram vinyl release pressed in an edition of 500 copies. Letterpressed jackets. The first 100 copies are available in a silver shimmer ink on black letterpress. Beautiful drone compositions from two kindrid musical entities. Eleh's pure analog drones are a perfect companion for Sun Circle's ecstatic high volume compositions.
Letterpressed jackets done by Reuben J. Little at 43rd Parallel
in Portland, Maine.
Eleh's track is a slight departure from the sub-sonic bass heavy drones of their first two records. This time around there's more emphasis on a glistening shimmer honoring the natural beauty of a winters day. Recorded using vintage modular analog synthesizers and glowing tube oscillators Eleh pays tribute to sixties minimalism.
Sun Circle's Important debut is a single, shimmering, acoustic chord. Zach Wallace plays bowed dulcimer and string bass, Greg Davis plays bowed dulcimer and harmonium. While it remains static in time, the minute variations of human touch give the piece an organic breathing quality.
Sun Circle review on Digitalis Industries
"Eleh use a battery of analogue oscillators to dig down into frequencies so low that they become their own obstacle; the technical difficulty of mastering and pressing them satisfactorily have delayed the release of Floating Frequencies/Intuitive Synthesis I.
Beautifully packaged and pressed in a limited run, this record could have been a Stereolab-style exercise in fetishisation and nostalgia. It's dedicated to La Monte Young, and the album's titles, instruments and methodologies hark back to the academic laboratory conditions of 1960's minimalism. But its forensic exploration of the limits of bass perception (and reproduction) has uncannily contemporary echoes. "In The Ear Of The Gods" drops immediately into a speaker threatening sub-bass stasis and stays there with immaculate purity, broken only by a raindrop of a kick-drum. When the unified bass tones finally shift fractionally, the resulting phasing has the kind of richly vertiginous wobble and warp that dubstep loves to play with. The subterranean ripples of tone and the glacial pace at which they unfold calls to mind Earth and Sunn O)))'s mute explorations of the dark dynamics of depth when extracted from rock's edges."

Organized Pitches Occurring in Time consists of two 25 minute pieces of music, both spawned from
the same conceptual composition/score by Duane Pitre,
titled Ensemble Drones. With their form reminiscent
of works by La Monte Young’s Theater of Eternal
Music and their tonality touching on the floating works
of Terry Riley....(more) |

When we sent out the original reels for The
Wanderer to be transferred to digital we were shocked
and excited to have discovered an extended collaboration with David Tudor. It's with a terrific amount of excitement
that we present it here for the first time along with the
albums two original pieces. This is the sister album to Accordion
