Mohammad disliked stringed instruments, preferring the 'purer' sounds of flute and drum. He didn't explain, but a possible reason is that strings are richer in harmonics and can be used to create chords or partial chords. These create beats and resonances from which melodies can be picked out, giving the illusion of a phantom musician creating independently of the human operator. VCO exploit this property of polyphony, giving the phantom centre stage and a job playing saxophone. martin corey

They are little bits like something else and a whole lot like nothing ever. Some really incredible musicians. Mind expanding and then some. Yes it is a wild trip and what a fun ride.

Mocking Solemnity, Death Becomes You, and For Whom the Bell Tolls are great. SUNN O))) certainly don't do cover versions in the way other bands do, for sure! I wonder what Cliff Burton would have thought of it...? The four collaborations with Masami Akita/Merzbow aren't my thing, but if you are into it then you can find further collaboration on CroMonolithic Remixes for an Iron Age.
