surprisingly good ambient/soundscape album given that when i first heard about it it sounded like a total gimmick. apparently the loops here were being transferred from analog to digital formats and literally deteriorated as that process was happening. the result reminds me of eno's best stuff.

I read about this at Michael Heumann's site - Haunted Ink - he also review some other Basinski works there. Been meaning to get some Basinski.

i've got the first volume, with the second and fourth on the way. the third was sold out at forced exposure.
it's very minimal, and requires a commitment by the listener. the first disintegration loop is more than an hour long, and it slowly and subtly changes as quiet pulses and sighs and rests paint a soft pastel melody that decays into quiet over that time. it makes an excellent lullaby for falling asleep, but it also makes for a soothing (if subtly melancholy) atmosphere during the day. not for everyone, but if its description sounds appealing to you, you will probably find much pleasure in listening.
the second loop is only just over ten minutes long, and is a similar loop that restfully dies into quiet.
i mentioned this in an ambient thread last week, but i don't think anyone else in the thread had heard it.

that site you link is pretty cool. i like his music review system.
for those here who like stuff along the lines of stone in focus, this album might be up your alley. it just takes a certain amount of patience.

Tribes Of Neurot (with members from the band Neurosis) did some similar music projects. really interesting and cool stuff. there's great information on their project in detail here:
Tape Decay Resonant Sun
i have the Resonant Sun on Neurosis' DVD release of A Sun That Never Sets. the visuals for that album is basically just an oscillator. it's really cool, though.
