lyrics

For having barely begun & so suspended in the distance
What a fire it's got ; unabashedly persistent

I should try to sow at least
Spirit across the fields & leas
It flew along in muzzled cry
To invite these trembling, inviolate sighs

I requited the source only to sense its pre-decline
To the same point once again, it is lucid & crystalline
I have braided the wind ; such an unrepentant killer
What a path it's got, wound among the rows of pillars

Dry the land & its dreary guile
To ramify & to exile
On fallow ground, the rot is blight
Defocusing a wearied, oblivious rite

But I'm inclined to feel the freeze
Weathering all the brutal breezes
Each is alone in frail reply
& virtue is their only real ally

I'm a little bit hoarse & in need of some repose
Skirt the same edge once again, from wherever it arose
I have greeted the void, so shadowy in peak resistance
What a pull it's got ; unequivocally consistent

[Lyric inspiration from Athanasios Maniopoulos]

NUNU
by Clever Austin

An album for any time of day, as far as I'm concerned -- meticulous treatments and an impressive degree of detail for something that could still be called 'minimal'. Benoît Pioulard

Limitless Frame
by Ulla

Ulla's knack for combining wildly different textures into something so perfectly cohesive, is a constant wonder. I wish this record were 10 hours long. Benoît Pioulard

Online Architecture
by SYMBOL

Chris is a master of mood, and his solo work is some of my favorite music of the past decade.. drifty and melodic, and always with a healthy analog glow. See also "I Am Humble and Powerful". Benoît Pioulard
