Melt/Surround by Extra

“Melt/Surround is the fourth album of insidiously immersive headphonic haze by alliteration-loving living legends Brian Grainger (Milieu, Coppice Halifax) & Howard Stelzer. Extra sculpts sensuous, vivid drone music out of steamrolled cassette tapes, mountains of modular synthesizers and repurposed suburban ephemera. Their latest missive is a deeply serene time-defying expanse wherein it is possible for all participants to find themselves hovering several feet above safe ground. And so on.”

Ltd. edition of 60 CD-Rs available at Chocolate Monk, UK: https://chocolatemonk.co.uk/available.html
