Time Hecker (formerly known as Jetone) is a producer/composer out of Montreal. This album, released February 2011, contains a collection of ambient experimental work. It is full of drones, ringing tones, a touch of organ, plenty of ominous feedback and no vocals of any kind. Heck put up a wall of sound here. This music seems dark and muddy, with a sort of hypnotizing, meditative quality. It sounds to me like a low, murky, underwater sort of rumble. The tracks flow into each other smoothly and the Cd almost plays like one long track. -Surfer Rosa
