Track 4 from Radio Amor
Length: 00:05:16
Year: 2003
Track Description:
Beautiful proof that static or distortion can be amazingly effective when properly incorporated into brooding electronic minimalism. There is an easily discernible melody that is fantastically enhanced by the scratchy effects, as though you were hearing this on some ancient radio from another time.

Track 2 from Stranded Under Endless Sky
