I Wonder if You Noticed... (vinyl 2LP)

The remarkable series of releases from the trio of Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke and Oren Ambarchi continues with I wonder if You Noticed "I'm Sorry" Is such a Lovely Sound It Keeps Things From Getting Worse, which presents the entirety of an 80 minute set performed at Tokyo’s SuperDeluxe in March 2014. Where their 2012 performance (BT011 and BT012) was divided into two releases, one continuing their exploration of the guitar/bass/drums power trio format and the other emphasizing new instrumental configurations, the single extended performance presented here ranges widely over terrain both new and familiar, from acoustic strings and collective chants to thunderous power trio moves.
