An absolute punishing and complex album and one I’ve put off getting into for about a year now but I’ve finally given it a listen. There’s some truly transcendental moments on this album. If you’re a fan of swans and no wave do not hesitate to give this a listen!

Went to a neighborhood record shop recently and heard this over the speakers while flipping through the stacks. I couldn’t quit nodding along to its hypnotic composition and took a gamble on a copy — 100% the right choice. Big rec if you’re into Philip Glass. And the album concept is so good:
Originally released in 1979, Sei Note In Logica (Six Notes In Logic) presents a singular, sinuous piece. The composition is based on a finite set of musical notes, yet this limitation is the point of departure for a grand tour of possible combinations and enthralling timbres (marimbas, strings, reeds and human voice).
The joyous experiment of Sei Note is grounded in constant variation. Often doubled by multiple instruments, non-repeating patterns are exquisitely layered, while electro-acoustic signals transform and further refract through visceral effects. Within this conceptual framework, Cacciapaglia does not so much juxtapose rigid dichotomies — acoustic vs. electronic, melodic vs. dissonant, simple vs. complex — as fuse them into an expansive whole.

Piano teacher recommended me this album. Incredible vibes -- like stereolab + fishmans + that bjork song with the harp. A ton of great tracks, I epecially like #10 Sjärna -- 7/8 meter, modal AF with a fun gong in the middle. Listening feels like running through the alps and there's hella small flowers. Puts a smile on my face.
If you've got an hour, this record is worth sitting down to listen to.
P.S. Please let me know if you have the mp3/flac for this!!!

An absolute masterpiece from a genius gone way too soon. Jeff brings unbelievably powerful vocal performances and beautiful instrumentation, along with deeply poetic songwriting. A classic 90‘s art rock album!

This album is seriously incredible. One of those albums that keeps me coming back for more and more and I seem to not get tired of it when I revisit. Some truly beautiful and also brutal and depressive moments on here that have only gotten better with time.
