"The final album from Brad Rose's The North Sea, a project that has traversed a wide range of phenomenal sound territories, and it is an sublimely uncanny farewell from one of experimental music's most ambitious names. Rose(best known as the polymath mastermind behind Digitalis and scores of projects) oversees an assemblage of sound sources evoking the history of electric music. From synthesizer soundscapes that seek to reconcile the limits of timbre to concrete sampling and collage,
G&W
plays a crash course in sonic evocation. Clearly in control of The North Sea sound, Rose notes that he has 'never spent more time on any solo project than on this record,' and this is apparent throughout the scale of sound and emotion of
G&W
. There's a sense of the uncanny, a mysterious unsettling, throughout the album and this is directly attributable to
G&W's
aesthetic basis in Franz Fanon's
The Wretched of the Earth
, African percussion, and progressive drone."
