William Basinski's reputation as the foremost producer of profound meditations on death and decay has long been established, but on his album 'Lamentations', he transforms operatic tragedy into abyssal beauty. Captured and constructed from tape loops and studies from Basinski's archives - dating back to 1979 - 'Lamentations' is over forty years of mournful sighs meticulously crafted into songs. They are shaped by the inevitable passage of time and the indisputable collapsing of space - and their collective resonance is infinite and eternal.
