Endless Summer

Now that summer is upon us, I thought it wise to highlight some seemingly apposite tunes.

Christian Fennesz--who simply goes by Fennesz when composing and performing his white noise wonders--originally released this work on Mego in 2001. The album was reissued by the excellent Editions Mego in January 2007 after being remastered.

I was going to try and form complete sentences to describe how incredible this music is. I'm usually competent at that. But instead I'm simply going to list the notes I took while listening recently:

"The sound of decay.
Disintegration Loops - Basinski.
Liquid audio.
Vinylesque.
Experimental.
Repetitive.
Looped.
Beautiful.
Linear overall, but built upon slow, developed, transient loops.
Synthetic.
Unstructured.
Four Tet at half tempo with no beats.
For Boards of Canada fans (see: synth sounds).
Processed guitar.
Phenomenal.
Fantastic."

That should give you an idea. But please navigate yourself to "A Year In a Minute" and "Endless Summer" here.
