posts about amplifier.

i just heard about a new ep by amplifier, called fractal, which can be freely downloaded here. a purely improvised record, consisting of four songs with a playtime of 22 minutes.
(and apparently they released a new album last year, called the octupus, which seems to be very good. i think i need to start another music shopping spree soon ;-) )
