Repeating Ourselves: American Minimal Music as Cultural Practice
One of the most important, and clearly the most culturally and theoretically informed, of any of the major studies on minimalism.

Fink's scholarship is as impeccable as his readings of minimalist compositions are stunningly insightful. Not least, the book is beautifully written."--Richard Leppert, editor of "T. W. Adorno, Essays On Music" "A model of interdisciplinary…

Faint
12k mastermind Taylor Deupree presents his sole solo output for 2012. His lushly realised 'Faint' is themed around those blissful, fleeting moments between waking and sleep, and vice versa, that point where the sub-conscious kicks in after a couple of hypnagogic jerks and we begin to seep between one reality and another.
