Four side-long tracks by the CCMC veteran, originally released by Chatham Square in 1975. “Falling Starts” is a tape of a piano melody first played back at hyperspeed, then slower and slower until it transforms into a thunderous, quivering bass boom. The brutally lo-fi “Left Right” is an intentionally distorted, repetitive stride piano experiment with metronome and telephone. “W in the D” is constructed of separate whistled phrases, each preceded by the sound of the composer breathing in.
LP is 180g, in a gatefold jacket. 2016 reissue.
