Limited edition of 300, already sold out at source. David Toop's environmental beauty Life on the Inside is the audio companion (created and recorded in 2015) to French sculptor Pierre Besson's 2014 exhibition D'objets noires et de Choses carrées (Black Objects and Square Things). This 34-minute ambient track was diffused inside of the sculpture and has never been published before. An excellent addition to the David Toop discography and a must for any wide-ranging ambient fan."Musician, writer and Wire contributor David Toop’s journey to the the Amazon jungle in the late 1970s resulted in an extraordinary set of recordings of shamanic rituals and psychedelic happenings by members of the Yanomami. The openended musicking captured in his recordings raised profound questions regarding personal identity, ecology and the boundaries of music and performance. Erik Davis said: “Toop’s recordings capture far more than song or even voice as the psychedelic Yanomami body is revealed as a collective multidimensional membrane of vibrating flesh.” TheWire Best Albums of 2015
