this is the latest in a string of pretty stellar releases from Touch, over the last few years... Z'ev has done a lot of experimental percussion work, but this work, as far as i can tell is all old tape collage, compiled from across the 20 year period he has been working in the post-industrial realm... given the primitive source material, this stuff sounds pretty darn amazing... all sorts of displaced sonic fragments such as air currents, voices, and drones get swept up in these whirlpoolesque compositions, where all manner of combination and permutation play themselves out over the course of the 8 minutes that these tracks last (on average)... because it's all relatively closed (the sample sources, and whatnot), there is a surprising coherence to be found in these rather chaotic sounding compositions... i would highly recommend this one to anyone who has been digging touch lately... and or fans of Nurse With Wound, the Hafler Trio, and other experimental noise/industrial based acts... werdTouchlink

Z'ev is most very excellent from what i've heard. I read a review of this in the wire, and despite being rather pissy about being dictated to (YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS EXPERIMENTAL AND VERY IMPORTANT ARTINESS ON HEADPHONES AND NOTHING ELSE), they really liked it.

Shit, I remebered just now that I saw this guy play in Stockholm when Fennesz was here. The best part of the night was when Z'EV, Fennesz and some Swedish dude were jamming together completely unrehearsed and unannounced.
I will add this to my list of things I shall buy as soon as I get paid.
Z'EV site.
