A well thought out minimalist work

(5 out of 5 stars)
"David Grubbs, the mastermind behind the 21st. century stylings of Gastr del Sol and former member of both Squirl Bait and Bastro really comes into his own on this album of comprised of minimalistic genius. With the piano and guitar as his only tools, Grubbs presents three restrained variations of the same piece, each different from the last. This album is reminiscent of the piano arrengement he contributed to an old Codine ep. and more recently the track Bauchreddner which can be found on the latest Gastr release. This is easily one of the finest records of 1997, and I think we can expect more fantastic sounds when Grubbs' new album The Thicket is released in the fall of '98."
