BASS COMMUNION / Jonathan COLECLOUGH / Colin POTTER
s/t

Another re-release, on the Aquarellist label, of this double collaborative CD, which has long been out of print, becoming a collectors item. The new issue is housed in a high-quality gatefold sleeve.

Here’s what Lucas Schleicher said about it on Brainwashed. “Jonathan Coleclough, Steven Wilson, and Colin Potter are all gurus of the meditative and sublime, crafting from seemingly thin air the most delicate and shattering of sounds. Every track has a heaviness or a weight that can feel paranoid or transcendental. ‘Pethidine’ is a twenty-eight minute pause, frozen perfectly in space and time. It develops and unfolds slowly, revealing each of its particularities only to show that they are indeed one entity turning inside out. Being surrounded physically by this sound has literally kept me warm at night. ‘Epidural’ manages to erase all memory, all sensation, and leave only the truth of intuition in its wake. Its immediacy, weight, and thrust is unequalled in much of the music I know.”
