Monolithic Undertow

Más información sobre el libro

"Monolithic Undertow explores the power of the drone - an audio carrier vessel capable of evoking womb-like warmth or cavernous dread. Requiring neither chord nor band, this potent audio tool of personal liberation offers us the chance to step outside of ourselves, to silence the hum and fizz of the unceasing inner voice. From Neolithic beginnings to bawdy medieval troubadours, Sufi mystics to Indian raga masters, cone shattering dubwise bass to Hawkwind and the outer reaches of Faust and Ash Ra Tempel; the seedy VHS hinterland of Electric Wizard, ritual amp worship of Earth and Sunn O))) and the many touch points in between, Monolithic Undertow alights a crooked path across musical, religious and subcultural frontiers, and provides us with an aural expression of a universal hum we can only hope to fleetingly channel."--Back cover
