RESTOCKED! long out of print, this is the first CD reissue by cramps, digitally remastered, originally released on LP in 1973 as number 16 in the Nova Musicha series - the work is an exploration of space and sound through feedback; the album features two long tracks -- "Mix A" and "Mix B" -- and both appear to involve spare sounds in space, filtered through additional electronics -- often with the effect of a microphone feeding back, then suddenly halted. Tudor manipulates the sounds enough to pull out some compelling waveforms, especially on "Mix B" -- and the album offers up a much darker side of his music than you might expect from the early years.
