Tom Carter (Charalambides) & Vanessa Arn (Primordial Undermind, Gourmet Chef) combined their powers to tap the reverberant waves of the ether on this split release with improv trio from Ukraine - the Moglass. While Carter / Arn part made with lap-steel guitars and triwave picogenerator sounds very soft, cajolingly and tensely at times, the Moglass part sounds more dense and brighter.
