*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Two guitarists with wild and bold aesthetics met for no cost – Kost Nix, an explosive, freewheeling set... Often it is impossible to know who is doing what. They build on the opening, 20-minute piece «Quiet Concessions» massive walls of sound, delicate and raw, strange, poetic and totally weird at the same time. Byron Coley... hears in this piece echoes of early Grateful Dead, and Sonic youth, but you can add Fred Frith’s Massacree and Sonny Sharrock’s Last Exit.
This piece is completely unpredictable, psychedelic and dreamy but progresses according to its own inner logic... «Luminous Motion» dive deeper into experimental regions and expands the innovative vocabularies of such sonic searchers like Derek Bailey, Hans Reichel and Bill Orcutt, spiced with hypnotic bluesy twangs and abstract, noisy drones. The last «Optimus Locus ad Finem» takes another turn and builds a suggestive tension patiently as if Arn and Maoz instantly compose a soundtrack for a mysterious and unsettling story. Hopefully, this inspired meeting will trigger more collaborative work of Arn and Maoz." - Eyal Hareuveni
