Notes
Dream theory In Malaya is titled after a paper by visionary anthropologist Kilton Stewart, who in 1935 visited a remarkable highland tribe of Malayan aborigines, the Senoi, whose happiness and well-being were linked to their morning custom of family dream-telling, where a child's fearful dream of falling was praised as a gift to learn to fly the next night and where a dream-song or dance was taught to a neighbouring tribe to create a common bond beyond differences of custom. The Semelai are another tribe not far from the Senoi but who live in the largest swamp area of Malaya, A recorded fragment of their joy-filled watersplash rhythm was re-structured and became the the generating force for the composition Malay, as well as providing a thematic guide for the entire recording.

Who did the great splash rhythm on "malay" and where is it recorded?
Is this an unimportent information?? -
Call it Fourth World, call it proto-glitch or atavistic abstract techno post-math un-rock for that matter, this album shows that as the labels fall away there is indeed (mostly) nothing (quite) new under the Sun.
Kudos to those who groked this album back in 1981 as it was as out there and beyond as it came, at the dawn of that decade.
Definitely a work of art in that it takes a generation or so for a wider appraisal to occur. -
Unlike anything you will ever hear. The album's concept and story is as original and breathtaking as the sounds it contains. -

odd, i thought this pressing sounded absolutely phenomenal and full of life. super crisp and great stereo spread. little to no noise as well. -

Audio has been compressed to death – zero dynamic range. Stupid loudness war victim. -
Been listening to this for decades occasionally, but need to be in a contemplative mood to approach it. It is subtle, deep, rich & intense. Can't overstate its importance as a critical musical document of the 20th century. Sheer pleasure, evokes so many images. And Jon has done so many other recordings that are as good, different, remarkable. If only he was to receive the critical acclaim he deserves.... -
Edited 14 years agoPretty experimental album for the time. Glitch styling with plenty of loops on top of each other is very Mille Plateux. Loops are very technish even Carl Craig Domina period. Eastern sounding may put off some listeners as maybe a bit too Middle east sounding but the 2nd side balances it out with some more depth. Overall a pleasent album definitely at home in EG Edition.
