Still-moving loops repeat and build themselves in deep washes of aural hallucination.-Ç Steve is known for his work in Ohio synth-drone unit Emeralds.-Ç Like the other output from the Emeralds crew, it is hard to believe that todays best synth music is being made by twenty year old dudes from the Cleveland suburbs, but they seriously just have it figured out. Steves smooth and densely layered drones, heavy in Kraut influence, are as huge as any of his contemporaries and as rich as his predecessors.-Ç Vocal incantations reminiscent of Way Their Crept" era Grouper place Steves compositions on another level. Deeply thoughtful and knowledgeable zones floating in and out of reality. In an edition of 150 labeled tapes with full color cardstock J-cards." - Arbor
