"When talking about the music of the Graz-based composer and organ player Klaus Lang and the Viennese bassist and multi-instrumentalist Werner Dafeldecker, one could briefly say that there is a form of velocity so fast one no longer perceives it as such, but rather as stagnation. The speed of light is such a case. The music of Dafeldecker and Lang also appears to be stagnant. It doesn't get going anywhere. A powerful, droning organ chord, a bowed bass and both are perceived as if they were chiseled for eternity. Music that sounds irrevocable, great and sublime, fascinating and off-putting. The tonal spectrum of this music, which one could compare to the harsh improvisations of the early AMM, or to several compositions of Kevin Drumms or to recordings from the radical minimalist school of Tony Conrad, cannot be summarized by this description. The recordings were made in a church in the southeast province of Austria on a snowed-in winter night."
