"South of a disused caravan site (elevation 225) and north of a sheep wash (elevation 238) is a point where electrified wiring descends from a hilltop and meets. Mr. Harrison has been recording at this focus in varying weather conditions over several years using only piezo transducers and portable MD equipment. By this simple technique the entire hillside is turned into a microphone." -- liner notes. "All I really know about this Richard Harrison bloke is that he's some sort of ad-hoc Alan Lamb, attaching piezo microphones to discarded wiring in the countryside, recording resultant 'alien' transmissions on MiniDisc machines & compiling them for future broadcast/release. SERIOUSLY tweaked stuff, similarities to Lamb evident or not (I'd take 1 field-recorder of acoustic/electric phenomena over 200 'Autechretians'); 'wind-in-the-willows' style spookery, frequencies of sub-timpanic amplitude, ghost-voice/chain rattling, alarm-clock buzzing, interference-pulse, all presented in some off-center fidelia, ranging from very distant to 'in the room. Don't turn around...'." -- Hrvatski. Limited stock.
