 William Basinski - The River - almost cool music review
The two long pieces on The River are composed from manipulated muzak tape loops and short-wave radio transmissions, yet they don't feel antiquated at all despite their creation date of 20 years ago.
Perhaps some of that is due to a new digital world obsessed with the recreation of analog sounds, but part of it also lies with Basinski's ability to strip things down to the basics and play off all the slight variations and nuances that he can get out of each piece.
As one might guess, The River is definitely a release that falls into a highly repetitive category, yet that is part of the charm of it all.

Combining rugged chops and Keith Caputo's irreplaceable drone and wail, like a Chris Cornell, Maynard Keenan, Peter Steele concoction, LOA's tunes travel a winding path of sludge, groove, and street level Metal, at times heavy and dense, others, as a song like "Weeds" indicates, melodiously Pop and Alternative.
One of Roadrunner's earliest breakout bands, Life Of Agony's music is still relevant, and the relevance of the original unit, as evidenced here, is beyond compare.
