A Crystal Skull in Peru


The track by Cloaks, which dominated this show, is simply put, superb. Piano, tapes, and bells ooze together in a long playing expanse of around 30 minutes. The track could be likened to a synthesis of Oval's "Do While" and Reich's piano works, but those comparisons should only be taken as starting points for describing something that easily stands on its own. Along with the caring and beautiful packaging this CD-R is a must have, hopefully there are still some left at Aquarius Records, where I found it. You can also listen to the podcast of the show here.
