Here's a collection of Plotkin's earlier ambient works, spanning from 1993 up to 1996. According to the linear notes, the only source sound used on this album is the guitar. The source material is manipulated beyond recognition, apart from a few plucked and strummed guitar melodies, present here and there, throughout the album.
This is another one of those great "room-filling" ambient records. Although the album is void of beats, there is no need for rhythm when Plotkin is at the helm. He is in total control of his processed sounds, at times harsh, other times mellow and fluffy.
The resulting album is a minimalist, at times almost meditative, journey into experimental guitar work. I am willing to bet, that when playing the fourth track, The wrong context, at high volume levels, I'm able to stop my neighbours pacemaker in it's tracks. Truely strange and perplexing, isn't it?
