This is a rather enjoyable throwback to a branch of psychedelic/Krautrock that I especially enjoy...just swathes of often chaotic sound, thrumming rhythms, mad drumming and madder strumming and weirdly angled improvisation. David Alexander McDonald
“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach
