MORPHOGENESIS

Stromatolites

(Vintage Electronics) Used CD $10.00

Most of the band’s catalog is recorded live but Stromatolites requires the use of overdubbing (though the preferred the term is “lamination”) — mixed in the studio by superimposing separately recorded material. They consider these open-ended constructions to exist in more than one version. All three tracks on this 1998 album are louder and harsher (thank you, amplified springs; we’ll see you next time around, piano) while the organic unfolding and underlying shortwave and biofeedback drones make this a recognizable Morphogenesis album.
