Marc Behrens may be leading a quiet career, but he is nevertheless one of the key sound artists of the past fifteen years (and an excellent graphic designer to boot). He has culled for the Portuguese label Crónica his shorter works released on compilation albums between 1996 and 2005. The result is a two-disc set of 19 pieces, by far the largest number of Behrens tracks brought together in a single release – the man tends to prefer long-form works. It’s a superb compilation that features a lot more variety than what you’d expect from a Behrens release. Some pieces get very close to harsh noise, while others are more typically calm, standing on the verge of the threshold of perception. For fans of Francisco López and Richard Chartier. YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: This album is available only as a high-quality and ABSOLUTELY FREE digital download.
