Rarely Heard: Experimental Audio Research - D.M.T. Symphony (Overture To an Inhabited Zone)



"Experimental Audio Research (commonly shortened to E.A.R. or EAR) is a loose collective of experimental musicians formed around Peter Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom), formerly of Spacemen 3. While Spacemen 3 were a relatively traditional rock and roll band with strong experimental leanings, E.A.R. is essentially a free improvisation project, creating instrumental music characterized by lengthy, droning textures and slowly evolving structures.
The line-up often included Sonic Boom (Spectrum, Spacemen 3), Kevin Martin (God), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), and Eddie Prevost (AMM)." (Allmusic.com)
When i first heard about the line-up I was instantly intrigued and have at least 3 of their albums, but it seems there have been many more. The tune is very quiet, so you might want to turn up the volume:-)
