SHEFFIELD, COLIN ANDREW & JAMES ECK RIPPIE - Variations

"Variations is selection of works from the duo of turntablist/guitarist James Eck Rippie and sampling minimalist Colin Andrew Sheffield. After a recent cluster of live performances and \r\neven a bit of soundtrack work, Sheffield and Rippie have released a debut LP that is intriguing and beautiful. The textured ambience here is rich and subtle, simple and complex. The three pieces comprising this album were recorded live with no additional production or processing and were wholly improvised. Sheffield and Rippie have been performing and recording together for years, though variations is the first document of their ongoing collaboration. pressed on 180-gram vinyl with lovely full-color jackets, in an edition of 400 copies". - Elevator Bath.
