The height of bedroom recordings

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Roy Montgomery's reputation for beautifully far-out dreamscapes and sonic wanderings goes without saying. Founded on the endlessly important principles of repetition and drone (maybe not to the same extent as Spacemen 3), this album offers an honest, exploratory aural dream. Ranging from sopophoric waves to driving electronic intensity (ala Suicide), Silver Wheel of Prayer exposes a stream of conscience mind at work, void of glossy studio gimmickry. Montgomery's instrumental, at-home-with-his-4-track recording is sure to please those who value natural, minimalist compostion with a real quality and a first-take edge. Truly inspirational for any bedroom 4-tracker."
