The Sight Below Glider 10 (Remastered)

Remaster of 2008 classic ten years after release. RIYL: Gas, Fennesz, Basic Channel, Tim Hecker "Running a guitar through a variety of looping, reverb, and delay
stations, he uses the E-bow, the slide, and tentative picking techniques to circumvent the physical essence of the strings and to marshal clouds of edgeless tone." -
Pitchfork "... a fresh slant on that post-classical sound that's so rarely executed with any originality but which is here crafted with an expert hand. ...A massive recommendation = Essential Purchase" - Boomkat There's a beating heart buried in the cold landscape of Glider, a warm 4/4 pulse that enervates the album's echoing, looped drones and pulls the listener swiftly through the snow. By pinning barelythere
electronic beats to his wisps of guitar melody, the Seattle-based producer turns ambient music into a hybrid strain of breathtakingly intimate, small-scale dance music. There's a separation of elements in The Sight Below's songs that's almost meteorological in nature: Tendrils of treated guitar trail lazy patterns in the sky like the Aurora Borealis ("At First Touch"), flicker in the distance like heat lightning
("Dour"), or expand and contract like time-lapse cloud formations ("Life's Fading Light"); running along beneath, nearly obscured by the airborne phenomena, is an
ever-present beat, which ranges from the mud-puddle throb in "Without Motion" to the tiny, insistent high-hats in "A Fractured Smile." The tracks evolve at a deliberated
pace, but as the tones overlap and the rhythms build, time oozes to a halt and hangs in blissfully frost-bitten suspended animation. With Glider, The Sight Below has
created a work of vertiginous sonic depth and exquisite melancholy: techno music for a dark, brooding night.
