Gurdonark - Seven Virtues (2009)
Comment: Robert Nunnally, a 52-year-old musician/netaudio activist from Texas, USA had released his first album approximately 10 years ago. Additionally to the creation of music he runs Negative Sound Institute, a record label co-founded with Verian Thomas, another musician. Seven Virtues includes...surprise, surprise... seven tracks which at the first glance seem to be way too tedious and sparse. Yet, the more you are getting into it the more approval it gets. Actually its minimal undertones within ticking electronic progressions and more swelling visions and some propulsive forays and barely perceptible pitch and phase changes start to function finally demonstrating its strength and huge affinity. Indeed, the release is the kind of grower, and the whole seems to be bigger than its parts on their own.
