Instruments of Science and Technology - Music for Paradise Armor
Knowing this is a pseudonym of Richard Swift gives me the ability to be patient with it and give it a comprehensive listen. If someone sent me this album without said context, I'd delete it immediately.. bored by the lack of structure and noodling explorations. However, since such context does exist I appreciate knowing that one of my favorite songwriters also takes the time to look into other areas of expression; even if the results seem chaotic. It's both ambient and jarring at times; a much different combination than the rhythmic style of the first release under this name. Maybe these sounds will lead down a path towards greater cohesive goodness but it's certainly like I'm listening in on the learning process.Find Out More →
