About this product
William Basinski's reputation as the foremost producer of profound meditations on death and decay has long been established, but on his new album, Lamentations, he transforms operatic tragedy into abyssal beauty. More than any other work since The Disintegration Loops, there is an ominous grief throughout the album, and that sense of loss lingers like an emotional vapor.Captured and constructed from tape loops and studies from Basinski's archives - dating back to 1979 - Lamentations is over forty years of mournful sighs meticulously crafted into songs. They are shaped by the inevitable passage of time and the indisputable collapsing of space - and their collective resonance is infinite and eternal. Album Tracks 1. For Whom the Bell Tolls 2. The Wheel of Fortune 3. Paradise Lost 4. Tear Vial 5. O, My Daughter, O, My Sorrow 6. Passio 7. Punch and Judy 8. Silent Spring 9. Transfiguration 10. All These Too, I, I Love 11. Please, This S**t Has Got to Stop 12. Fin

William Basinski - Variations for Piano & Tape [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/19/2006
With their boldest to date, Orchestra Gold unveils Dakan - a transcendent new album exploring the intertwined forces of destiny and passion. Guided by the visionary vocals of Malian singer Mariam Diakité, [Dakan] is a sonic and spiritual journey rooted in tradition, driven by intuition, and lit ablaze with psychedelic energy.Mariam's lyrics draw deeply from her devotion to the baye fall tradition - a mystical branch of West African sufism that favors direct experience of the divine over doctrine. Her voice doesn't just sing - it *channels.*InchThis song is an homage to my teacher in the Baye Fall tradition, Baye ass n'diaye. He taught me that religion must be rooted in the direct experience of the divine. To truly love God, we must experience God.Inch -Mariam Diakite, singerPsychedelic rock collides with Malian soul in a sonic ritual where fate dances with free will. Album Tracks 1. Diyanye Ko [Passion] 2. Baye Ass N'diaye 3. Diyanye Ko Te Sa [Desire Is Unquenchiable] 4. Abarika Kanuna [Thank You for Love] 5. Dakan [Destiny] 6. Djama Ko [People] 7. Nema [Love] 8. Yayoroba 9. Baye Ass N'diaye [Reprise]
