Fractal Guitar 2
by Stephan Thelen
supported by 51 fans who also own “Keys, Mallets & Reeds”
An amazing follow-up to Fractal Guitar. I came across Fractal Guitar as a fan of Markus Reuter, and after downloading that had to go ahead and download all the other music Stephan has on Bandcamp. Love this stuff...

Fractal Guitar
by Stephan Thelen

This is a quite outstanding opus magnus of Mr Thelen and his associate musicians. Musical and muscular prowess meet groove and melody. Highly recommended hypnotic stuff!

Tranceportation Vol.2
by Sonar w. David Torn
supported by 46 fans who also own “Keys, Mallets & Reeds”
At first listen, the juxtaposition of Sonar's rhythmic constructions and Torn's soaring, furious/tender voice would by themselves be enough of a pull. But digging beyond the surface will reward the listener greatly. There is great depth, emotional nuance, intrigue and change, rewarding repeated listening. Ref: Miles/80's Crim/Tibbetts, but this is truly new music.

As I very much liked his regular Fractal Guitar albums, I couldn't refrain from getting this collection of removes and unreleased recordings. It might also have helped, that I read a Bill Laswell interview the other day :-)
