This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
The second part of Pat Maherr's gloomy industrial ambient epic 'Plays Wagner'. 'Plays Wagner' appeared as a very limited cassette on Maherr's own label last year; using a handful of dusty Wagner pieces, he has stretched and distorted the hallowed tones into something indescribably dark and beautiful. Like Leyland Kirby or even William Basinski, there is a sense of harmony, nostalgia and restraint in the layers of hiss, grit and noise. Having mastered this from cassette tape, the label retained all the decomposing grime experienced on the original version.
Made at Type.
