'Imagine the moment before the origin of the Universe, when nothing yet existed. According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as 'singularity', a zone of infinite density, which is also what is thought to exist at the core of the 'black hole'. The result of its expansion is what we call the 'Universe' and it is also what this album is all about. The gate was opened one night in May, in a basement of Northampton, Ma. by Paul Flaherty on saxophone and Weasel Walter on drums and percussions. 'Particles' sounded to me exactly like the Big Bang of music. An origin, a passage of energy that you can feel, not only listen. There is a shiverig tension throughout the whole album, as if everything was ready to collapse from one moment to another. Of course there is no real explosion, but a sense of constant vibration that has his apex on the final cut, with Flaherty and Walter joined by the incredible voice of Laila Maria Salins. Then, silence and back into the darkness. As someone said that night: Music is the key. We couldn't agree more. 140 grams vynil, first press of 157 numbered copies. Raw Silkscreen action by 8mm and ilcanedicoda, just as wild as the sound of Particles !' - Metamkine
