AH I NEED to hear this! Its only on vinyl!!!!

Anyone have it? Any chance on converting it to mp3? I
seriously need to hear this so bad!

"Many became acquainted with Keith Fullerton Whitman's —
aka Hrvåtski's — electronics-generated side on 2002's
Playthroughs. That album, using only an electric guitar and
some effects processors, was a departure far from the
glitchy laptop permutations and (re)combinations his earlier
work wrapped itself in. On Antithesis, Whitman goes a step
further into the murkiness of his restless creative muse.
The four pieces on this short (27 minute) vinyl-only release
(the first in Kranky's history) were composed and recorded
between 1994 and 2002, and are "ensemble" works that do not
include any computer-generated processes. There are multiple
instruments on all of them; Whitman played them all. On
"Twin Guitar Rhodes Viola Drone (For Lamonte Young)," you
can guess what instruments are employed. On "Obelisk (For
Kurt Schwitters)" analog tape, guitars, shards of
found-object percussion, and viola are concentrated into a
stunningly beautiful and pristine soundscape. On "Rhodes
Viola Multiple," a piece that uses the Rhodes as a
repetitive device filing through as series of stated phrases
that are inverted and restated and multi-tracked, the viola
becomes the sound of sonic space, washing its way through
the shimmering din. Finally, on "Schnee," from 2002,
acoustic and electric guitars, hand- and found-percussion
and cymbals, create a series of whole tone chord drones that
are framed inside a kind of modal melodic architecture that
opens out onto a terrain that is reminiscent of prime Popol
Vuh explorations. Antithesis is an aesthetically beautiful,
if brief listen, and contains pieces that will spectrally
come back to haunt the listener. What more could you ask
for? — Thom Jurek" -allmusic.com
