"Electronic Music from the Eighties and Nineties presents the soothing, hallucinatory side of Stone's slow-evolving, time-bending composition. While we can't always identify the source, we can hear that his sounds come from somewhere, and that there is a ""correct"" or ""complete"" version of them in theory; and so we can hear when they are being changed. What drives Stone's music is the flow that he draws out of those differences: the way an Indonesian gamelan morphs into a chorus built from one female vocalist over the course of ""Mae Yao""'s twenty-three minutes, the surprise emergence of a Mozart chorus out of the synths and skip-glitches of ""Sonali,"" or the slow, ambient evolution of ""Banteay Srey"". ""Woo Lae Oak,"" issued in a single side edit for the first time, is an exception. It's samples - a tremolo string and a bottle being blown across the top like a flute - are simple in the extreme. Yet the Stone hallmark is clearly present, he locates the inherent emotional properties of the sounds - the tingling anticipation of the string and the calm nobility of the wind - and takes them into unexpected expressive territory LABEL: Unseen Worlds" Banteay Srey, Sonali, Woo Lae Oak, Mae Yao
