Notes

Published by Just Isn't Music.

Inner booklet contains the text:

Bricolage
A process which uses given material, given signifiers (a text, a chord sequence) but which creates from these new signifiers, a new reality which is not given.
"The bricoleur may not ever complete his purpose but he always puts something of himself into it"
The Savage Mind
Levi Strauss

Rated 4/5
Review by stub004 Dec 01, 2009
Upon listening to this the first few times, I wasn't impressed. It sounded like a jumble of sounds - a live improvisation session, and not a particularly good one at that.

Around my third listen it began to come alive, and I realised just how wrong I was. This is a highly structured and carefully composed album. It's only the raggedy grooves and huge range of sounds it employs that give the illusion of ad libbing. Or, more accurately, the raw, nonconservative feel that each track has. Listening carefully, the release draws you in with sheer atmosphere; sometimes dreary, sometimes frantic, other times happy. Each track is a gem in its own right. Highly recommended.
