review...
The session notes say "start of bowed springs
sessions" although there's a lot more going on in these recordings, but
very little in the way of synths compared to most Endgame sessions. The avant-classical
meets industrial feel of much of it lent perfectly to sonic concrete
manipulation, adding lots of depth to the sound, and expanding 55 minutes of
material to 66 minutes! Here we have Xenakis with the attitude of Lightwave,
Dumitrescu crossed with the essence of freeform Kosmische Krautrock. By the
way, the use of Abtraction here is in the sense of "to make one thing
out of another"
