William Basinski – 92982
William Baskinski has built a reputation for brilliant avant-garde ambient and soundscape music with his releases over the past 10 years (most notably his 2002 album The Disintegration Loops, constructed from rapidly decaying twenty-year-old tapes of his earlier music). He’s taken a trip back into his tape loops archive for 2009 release “92982″ and it’s a must for anyone into ambience and with a taste for the leftfield.
It was released in April this year and you can pick it up on Boomkat amongst other places. You can also find out more about William Basinski on his Myspace page.
Here’s a taster in the shape of the first track from the album:

this is nice .. def’ loopy. what exactly IS a tape loop? i used to make loops with cassettes by recording it once, then recording it on another.. and then adding that onto the first one, and then onto the other again so it’s 4, 8, 16 and so on.
just got round to listening to this today. very nice!
