Chris Watson, Steve Roden, Jana Winderen and other minimal-environmental geniuses were not far away from him at the time, and the record cover of this nature-worshipping release unfolds to reveal visual cut-ups of a silvery forest. So far, a few superficial skims by my dilatory lugs suggest that the familiar near-silent treatments of Behrens aren&#8217;t so much in evidence, but his editing scalpel is still as sharp as ever. These vivid recordings of seagulls, water, stones, sheep and glaciers have been spliced into carefully-planned linear sequences intended to reveal certain conceptual truths about nature. One thing folds into another, layering imaginary transparencies together to solve the enigmas of creation. Sleppet posits a severe and almost bleak view of wildlife, weather and the elements, a view so cold and unforgiving that you can almost imagine yourself wandering alone during the Mesozoic era when you spin this stark twig of a disk. <em>Ed Pinsent<\/em><\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesoundprojector.com\/2010\/02\/\">The Sound Projector<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another hero of barely-existing music is the great Marc Behrens, whose Sleppet (CR\u00c3\u201cNICA 046) began life in 2007 with a bunch of nature recordings made in Norway.
