Experimental Audio Research - The Köner Experiment

Mille Plateaux CD36. 1997


More twiddling, but this time produced and mixed by Thomas Köner, who adds repetitive pulses to the whole shebang. What a difference it makes. This is incredibly hypnotic.

Everything is filtered and delayed to the same rate as the pulse, so it's almost like listening to the last record through a vibrato effect set on full depth.

Kevin Shields plays treated guitar on this one, so it gets my thumbs up just for that.

Engaging. Keep it for cold winter nights.
