Double Leopards, A Pebble in Thousands of Unmapped Revolutions (side A)

A Pebble in Thousands of Unmapped Revolutions seems a bit darker than, but generally typical of, abstract drone music today.  The amazing part of the album is that it was released in 2001, when this type of album was far less fashionable.  The drones are dark and hazy, with processed voices occasionally peeking through the wash.  The recording is primitive, but the low-end comes through nicely—the pressing clearly preserves everything that was captured on tape.  The pieces evolve slowly and organically without noticeable structure, with slow and usually subtle dynamic shifts.  The simple dots and text on the cover mesh nicely with the music's primitivism, but otherwise give little hint about the contents.
