David Wells – efegin (mini CD)



A limited edition (100 copies) mini CD-R, released in in 2007. This release has been sold out for some time now. I didn`t have the guts this ear it yet. David Wells took the source material from `The Infant Cycle – ephedrin bird samba ` mini CD. Then he proceeded to mangle / re-assemble / process / remix everything, in order to create something new, using a golden oldie (my opinion here). I was scared to hear this. I didn`t think someone would be able to pull it off. I`m a big (and not just physically) `The Infant Cycle ` fan. Jim De Jong always comes up with an interesting and challenging listen. About a month ago, I mustered the courage to hear this for the very first time. Lo and behold `efegin `this is a really, really, really good long track (20.43 minutes).  `Efegin `starts off with light ambience, slowly shifting / evolving / moving / mutating into minimal dark ambience (with electroacoustic elements thrown in), minimal ambient noise and finally ambient noise with rhythmic elements running in the background. Kudos to David Wells, great job man. A sold-out recording, but you know what they say? Find it on www.ebay.comwww.ebay.com
