all things being equal - dave stafford - double album

a rare "active" full-length solo outing, featuring full band ambience. a very provocative album with gentle pools of quiet ambience layered gently in between. stafford plays almost all the instruments himself, from solid bass and keys, to seamlessly integrated melodic information ranging anywhere from wild mock-theremin synth solos to lead guitars both acoustic and electric, to sinuously clean and reverse guitars, to dizzying heights of distorted square wave guitar heaven...wave upon wave of endlessly looped guitars.... live drums on "blint's tune = parts 18 - 34" are courtesy of mike bowman, drummer extraordinaire from the group "drone forest". please visit www.droneforest.com for more information. the album culminates with the 51-minute epic track "blint's tune = parts 18 - 34", and this specially-expanded edition features all 17 single mixes from "blint's tune = parts 18 - 34" - seventeen bonus tracks that reveal the underlying song structure of the enitre 51-minute closing piece. two complete albums in one.
