about

Mournful eerie soothing screaming guitar loops and solos, more or less in the Fripp & Eno and/or Krautrock traditions. Similar to the rest of the "Paintronics" series, but this one was not made with analog tape machines. Instead I employed digital delay units that were available at the time, with the maximum delay I could get being 8 seconds. These units had some advantages over analog in that you can freeze the loop at any point and then play solos over them. They also had disadvantages in that they sounded a tad harsh, because much digital music gear was not very good back then. The sound was fleshed out and stereoized by the use of the Lexicon Vortex, one of the finest overlooked weirdo processing boxes of the era.
