ARC – THE CIRCLE IS NOT ROUND – CD

Description

Their music is a mixture of Popul Vuh acoustic compositions, Pink Floyd’s Ummagumma era, Voice of Eye or Subarachnoid Space…, with dense and organic drones and hypnotic ethnic rhythms.ARC’s sound is centered on the melodic loops, textures, & samples provided by heavily-effected guitar & other melodic instruments. This is overlaid with tribal-esque rhythms provided by various percussive instruments; drum kit, djembe, tabla, wood blocks, etc. With this combination, they create a roiling tapestry of both rhythmic & ambient sound, a sound simultaneously prim(ev)al & avant-garde.The disc is packaged in a special cardboard digisleeve with varnished images. Limited edition of 800 copies.
